SEARHEART: VESPER [English]

[𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐇 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍] ✦ 𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐞 𝐈𝐈𝐈 ✦

Sometimes, survival is quieter than anyone expects.

Kasuga wakes to unfamiliar ceilings and the scent of rice and rain - alive, but uncertain why. Under the roof of the Hayashida household, he is offered more than shelter: he's given the space to breathe again. Yet healing is never linear, and even the gentlest kindness can feel sharp at first.

As Akira trains under pressure, his heart splits between duty and desire, between the lies he tells himself and the ones he keeps from Yuki. His flames flicker dangerously - not from rage, but from the exhaustion of holding back.

Meanwhile, far from the world of classrooms and kitchens, Atsuna's melody still sings within Yasuhiro's heart, the demon she was never meant to love. But some loves bloom in silence, and some are bound by blood, prophecy... or something far older.

Shadows lengthen. And even in the heart of sorrow, the smallest acts of care might change everything.
