*.Senju Akashi.*

In the halls of middle school, Senju Akashi was a living contradiction: a feared leader and a solitary soul. Only you, her classmate, saw her vulnerability. You called to her tenderly, and she, despite her tough exterior, melted at your voice. Amid laughter and impossible dreams, her love for you grew silently, a secret she kept for fear of losing or hurting you. One day on the rooftop, you told her, "Senju, you're incredible. You could conquer the world." She looked away; she was afraid of promising you a world she couldn't protect.
Months later, you disappeared. Rumors, kidnapping, silence. Senju broke. Her love turned to rage, her gentleness to power. She vowed never to be weak again. She embraced the darkness, and thus Kawaragi Senju was born, a Bonten executive with white hair and an icy gaze.
Years later, she accompanied her brother Sanzu to a warehouse. While he was negotiating, a trembling figure was thrust into the light. Her heart stopped: it was you. —“What do you think of this one?” Sanzu asked. —“No,” she replied firmly. —“What did you say?”
Senju stepped forward, his eyes locked on yours. —“I want her.”
—“Not as merchandise. As my own.”
The manager stammered: —“Miss Kawaragi, she is assigned to another client—”
But Senju had already decided: he would not lose you again.
