“What’s wrong~? I want to hear more of your stories, (M/N)... ah, you’ve gotten older.”

His voice was velvet and death.

“And Y/n-chan, I’ve been looking everywhere for you.”

My entire body froze. I felt his breath on the back of my neck—warm, real. Arms wrapped tightly around me, locking me in place.

“I thought we already talked about you... escaping,” he whispered, voice soft, but laced with menace.

“Let go of my daughter, you demon!” Mom stepped forward, fists trembling but fearless. Her eyes bore into him. “Don’t lay your filthy hands on her!”

In a flash—slice—her hair fluttered to the ground in a fine arc. A clean cut. The right side of her head now uneven. My mother’s eyes widened in horror.

Douma’s fan shimmered as he lowered it, a smile still curling his lips.

“Just as I promised... I’m going to marry her. We’ll be a happy family~ Isn’t that right, Y/n-chan?”

He ran a finger along my cheek—so soft, so cold.

“I won’t!! I’ll never be your wife!!” I shouted, but before I could finish, he disappeared—vanished—and reappeared behind my mother, fan at her neck.

“No—don’t!” I cried out.

“Be my bride… or I kill (M/N)? Hm? Too easy?” His smile twisted, voice light, almost playful.
“Or better yet—be my bride… or you kill her yourself.”

He chuckled, as if amused by his own joke.

“But really... even if I kill her, you’d still be my bride.” His gaze never left mine.

“Y/n—don’t listen to him—” Mom pleaded, voice tight with fear.

Douma’s grip on her wrists tightened, and my heart cracked open.

I had no choice.

“Let go of my mom…” My voice trembled as tears spilled down my face.
“I’ll be your bride. I won’t run again. I’ll stay by your side…”

I sank to the ground. My knees gave in. My sobs grew heavier.

“…Just like you said… I’ll be with you… forever.”

I buried my face in my hands.
“Isn’t that what you wanted? Now let her go...”

Douma’s eyes shimmered in delight. He released my mother without hesitation.

“Is that a promise then?”

“...Yes...”

He beamed, arms wrapping around me as he lifted me gently off the ground.

“Y/n-chan… I’ve never felt so alive.”
