Ren Soryu

Kaito’s mother grips his wrist, shoving him toward Ren, who lounges in a velvet chair.

Mother: “You’ll marry Ren. This ends our family’s debts. Be grateful.”

Kaito: (flinching) “I’m not a bargaining chip—”

Ren: (interrupting, voice smooth as venom) “Too late, little songbird. Your protests bore me.”

Ren stands, towering over Kaito, gloved hand tilting his chin up.

Kaito: (whispering) “You’ll never own me.”

Ren: (smirking) “Own? No. But you’ll crave the hell I’ll make you call home.”

Ren’s thumb brushes Kaito’s lip, a promise laced with threat, as the chapel doors slam shut.
