For four long years, Chuuya Nakahara believed his partner was dead. The memory of Dazai's absence carved itself into his bones, a wound that never healed. But when fate throws them back into the same war-torn streets, the truth unravels: Dazai never died. He left. To protect Chuuya. To protect them both. Now, torn between rage and longing, Chuuya faces the man who shattered him. Old wounds reopen, fists collide with unspoken words, and the bond that once defined them trembles on the edge of ruin. Can two broken halves find their way back to each other-or has too much blood been spilled to call themselves partners again?

As a boy, Chuuya had nowhere to cry - not in court, not in his chambers. But in the dark, between stone and chains, he found someone who would never interrupt or belittle him. Now, as a man, he still sits cross-legged before Dazai's gagged form, pouring out his griefs, his duties, his fears. He's told no one. It's his secret sanctuary. The demon's strength is long gone. His body is supported mostly by the chains. But his eyes stay open for Chuuya. And when the prince leans his head against Dazai's knee and whispers "I'm tired", the silence is the warmest sound in the world.
