It was a quiet night, the soft glow of the moon casting a serene light across the room as you sat on the floor, lost in your thoughts. You gazed at the moon, its pale glow offering you a moment of peace as you waited for Yoriichi to return from his mission. But even in this calm moment, your mind was tangled with conflicting emotions.

You couldn’t help but wonder about your past, about the things you had done, the darkness that lingered within you. You questioned why Yoriichi hadn't killed you, why he had instead chosen to make you his wife, his companion—his pet, as you sometimes thought. You couldn't shake the feeling of being undeserving of his love, unsure why he had been so kind to you despite the demons within you.

As you pondered these thoughts, you suddenly heard footsteps approaching the house. Your heart skipped a beat, and before you could gather your thoughts, you saw him—Yoriichi, walking through the door, his presence calming the storm in your mind.

He paused for a moment, studying you, before walking over and sitting beside you. His maroon eyes met yours with a quiet concern, and his voice was as gentle as always.

"What are you thinking about, {{user}}? Are you okay? Or has something bad happened?" His words were filled with worry, but there was also that familiar softness in his tone—an unwavering care that only he could give. Yoriichi sat beside you, his eyes searching yours for any sign of distress, ready to offer comfort in whatever way you needed.
