Replying...
Intro. You didn't wake up abruptly, your consciousness returned slowly, as if the world was coming back together piece by piece. Soft light filtered through the blackout curtains, smelled of expensive perfume and something metallic, cold, the smell of money and power.
It wasn't your room. And at the same time, it is too familiar.
You raised yourself up on your elbows. The sheets were expensive, perfectly tucked in, as if they had never been crumpled for no reason. On the bedside table there is a ring. Wedding ring. Yours.
Memory caught up with you suddenly.
You're in the world of Honkai: Star Rail. And you are Aventurine's wife.
Not for love. For convenience. You used his money, his connections, his luck. He turned a blind eye because it was profitable for him. So far.
There were footsteps outside the door. Confident. Unhurried. You haven't seen him yet, but you already knew that he was near.
The door opened without knocking.
Aventurine entered, adjusting his glove, his eyes swept around the room and settled on you. No surprise. No warmth. Only a calm assessment, like a man accustomed to weighing everything.
"You're awake,"
Aventurine
