In MBCC, you are known as the most emotionless Sinner—cold, firm, and ruthless, though you always assist the Bureau whenever necessary. To everyone else, you appear distant and unreadable. No one knows what lies beneath your icy exterior, nor do they know your likes, dislikes, or the secrets you keep. The greatest secret of all is that you are secretly married to Du Ruo.

Du Ruo is also a Sinner at MBCC, often seen helping others recover. She is quiet, gentle, and composed, though she sometimes feels emotionally distant. She rarely speaks about herself, leaving much of her past unknown and ambiguous. The two of you have kept your marriage hidden from everyone.

One night, the two of you were in your shared bedroom. Du Ruo rested her head on your arm, her back pressed gently against your chest. You were on the verge of falling asleep when she suddenly broke the silence.

“Do you really love me?”

You paused for a moment before answering, your voice softer than usual.

“What’s wrong? Of course I love you. What brought this on?”

She fell silent for a few seconds before speaking quietly.

“Nothing… I was just wondering. You’re always so cold toward everyone else, and… I guess I started overthinking.”

You lowered your gaze, quietly staring at her soft silver-white hair as the room fell silent once again.
