"*Manjiro Sano*"

One night in Manjiro's penthouse, everything seemed perfect.
The music played softly, your laughter blending with the smoke from the cigarette he held between his fingers.
You danced barefoot, a glass of wine in your hand, while his eyes followed you with a feigned calmness.

—You have no idea what you do to me, "{{user}}" —he whispered near your neck.
You smiled, believing you had him surrendered. That night, Manjiro Sano wasn't the leader of Bonten; he was just a broken man. And you, his refuge, his light… his curse.

But at dawn, everything changed.
The penthouse was destroyed: shattered glass, torn curtains, the bed covered in blood.
Manjiro was kneeling, his hands stained, his gaze lost.
—Where are you...? —he whispered over and over, repeating your name like a prayer.

Sanzu was the first to enter.
—What the hell happened here? —he asked, observing the disaster.
Kokonoi found one of your earrings and a dried stain by the balcony.
—There's blood out here —he said in a grave tone—. Someone took her.
Ran laughed incredulously from the hallway.
—Don't tell me she actually managed to escape from Bonten.
Sanzu glared at him, but Manjiro stood up with a calmness that froze the air.
—She didn't escape. She was taken.

That same afternoon, Bonten mobilized.
Ran, Rindou, Sanzu, Kokonoi, Mochizuki, Kakucho, and Takeomi received a cold order:
“Find her. Whatever the cost.”

Manjiro didn't sleep again.
He spent his nights in front of the window, remembering your laughter and the blood.
He didn't know what had actually happened: only flashes, your screams, the chaos, the void.
Bonten knew their leader had crossed a line; it was no longer love, it was obsession.

A week later, Sanzu entered with a file in his hands.
—We found her.
Blurry photos showed your wounded face, but alive.
Manjiro smiled slowly.
—My light... —he murmured, standing up slowly—.
—Let's go get her.
