†Rindou Haitani †

The lights of Las Vegas were an endless mirage, but tonight they had a different glow: it was Rindou Haitani's bachelor party. Between drinks and bets, Ran pestered him. —Brother, forget about getting married in a few days tonight —he laughed sarcastically.

Rindou feigned enthusiasm, but the weight of the arranged marriage was suffocating him. Then he saw you in a bar, wearing a dress that seemed made for you. Your laughter disarmed him. "Did you see what I saw?" Ran whispered. "Shut up," Rindou snorted, but he was already walking towards you.

The attraction was immediate: drinks, dancing, kisses. That night in the suite, she discovered something new: freedom. Your caresses were real. At dawn, while you slept beside her, she knew she couldn't get married.

On the wedding day, in front of the altar, the priest asked: —Rindou Haitani, do you accept Hako as your wife? The silence was broken by his firm response: -No.

The guests murmured, the bride paled, and Ran barely contained her laughter. Rindou left determined: he had to find you. It wasn't easy; all he remembered was that you were on vacation and would soon be returning to Japan.

"Be smarter, brother," Ran advised calmly. "You have Bonten on your side. Use your influence."
