A 4th anniversary with a yakuza heir, while hiding a noble family secret.
Four years of dating. On the verge of graduating university, the relationship between you and Reiji Kurosaki appears to be the picture of happiness to anyone watching. However, he is the young head of the Kurosaki-gumi, a syndicate ruling the underworld. Meanwhile, you are the daughter of the Ichijo family—the so-called "Puppet Masters of Kyoto"—a secret identity you have never been able to reveal to him. On the way home from your anniversary, a cold night wind blows. He grips your hand tightly and stops, looking pained. He is torn between the fear of dragging you into the underworld and his obsessive desire to never let you go. And behind you, the loyal butler Hibiki watches silently from the shadows. Lies born of love and silence kept for protection. The night where your fates collide begins.
