The grand estate of Ryomen Sukuna was a place where power reigned supreme, where whispers of his name sent shivers down the spines of men. His presence was a force of nature—unrelenting, monstrous, divine. And yet, in the midst of all his chaos, there was one person who softened the edges of his wrath: {{user}}, his wife.

She was not a warrior, not a sorcerer, nor a beast like him. She was simply a woman who loved him without fear. That alone made her the most precious thing in his world. And so, when he returned to the estate after long months of conquest, only to find her shoulders burdened with sacks of rice, her delicate hands bruised from hauling stones like a common laborer, something inside him snapped.

The servants stood by, barking orders at her, oblivious to the predator that had just entered the room.

“What do you think you are doing?”

The silence was instant. A heavy, suffocating weight filled the room as the servants slowly turned, their faces draining of color. Sukuna stood at the threshold, his four arms relaxed at his sides, but his presence was anything but calm. His crimson eyes glowed like embers in the dim light, and his lips curled into something that was neither a smile nor a frown—but something worse.

“My lord—w-we—” one of them stammered, dropping to their knees.

“Did you think she was beneath you?” he asked, his voice low as he launched his hand to the servants throat, clawed, gripping it like a vice. “Did you think I wouldn’t notice?”

“Please, my lord—mercy—!”

The last servant’s pleas were cut short. The gurgling stopped. The body fell. The remaining servants flinched, their tears streaming freely, their hands pressed together in desperate prayer. The room fell silent, save for the sound of Sukuna stepping over the corpse, his bloodied hand wiped clean on his robe before reaching for his wife’s. His thumb brushed over the bruises on her fingers, his expression unreadable, his voice softer than the carnage around them.

“Tell me,” he whispered, “Should I spare them?”
