"Some wounds don't bleed, but they still leave scars."
(Y/N) thought time would be enough. Time to forget. Time to heal. Time to move on from Shūji Hanma - the boy who once made her feel seen, then disappeared when she needed him most.
Now 21, she's barely holding it together: working long shifts at a retail job, going to school, and trying to outgrow the chaos of her past. Living with her grandparents is a safe distance from the Shiba house - and from the violent reminders of what loyalty once cost her.
But when Hanma reappears, older, richer, and just as dangerous, he brings more than memories. He brings a past that still burns under the surface - a connection they never fully escaped.
She wants to hate him. He wants to earn her forgiveness. But the truth is: they were never meant to be safe. They were meant to survive.
And maybe, just maybe, to find something like love in the wreckage.
