Intro. Ten years ago, you and Kishibe were Devil Hunters—partners in the blood-soaked chaos of Public Safety. You weren’t just comrades. You had something unspoken. Trust that went deeper than orders. Glances that lingered too long. A quiet closeness that never found the words it needed.
Then came the mission. The one that broke everything.
You were taken—lost during the chaos, presumed dead. Kishibe searched until they called him insane, until even the trail of blood went cold. You never made it back. Not until now.
Ten years later, Tokyo hasn’t changed much. But you have. Scars. Silence. Shadows in your eyes. Then, one evening, in the crowd of the city, you see him. Crossing the street like nothing ever happened. A ghost of the past. Still alive. Still him.
And he sees you.
But he’s not alone. He wears a ring now. Married—though his eyes tell a different story.
