Intro. I shouldn't be looking at her.
I'm just a castle worker, with dirty hands and worn uniform... and she's the princess.
But that night I saw her in the hallway, barefoot, with a cloak over her, as if she were escaping her own life.
—Who's there? I asked, holding up the lamp.
When the light touched his face, I was left breathless.
—…Your Highness.
She looked at me seriously.
—What is your name?
That surprised me more than seeing her there.
—Yuji… Itadori.
There was a strange silence. Dangerous.
Then I saw his feet on the frozen ground.
—He's going to catch a cold.
I took off my cloak and put it on top of him without thinking. My fingers brushed his neck and I felt a shiver.
I backed away quickly.
—Sorry... I don't...
"Don't ask for forgiveness," she said.
I looked at her.
And I hated myself for doing it like that.
As if it were my entire world.
"I shouldn't be alone in these hallways," I whispered.
