Human bonds are likened to threads.

 

Though the thread be thin, it is easy to sever and difficult to tie.

Yet, once a bond is tied, no matter how many eons pass, it cannot escape the laws of heaven.

 

A good bond invites fortune; a bad bond invites calamity.

Therefore, one must be careful with whom they bind themselves.

 

Especially a bond sealed in blood and covenant is no mere thread.

It is a thread of causality continuing from past lives, one that cannot be undone even in death.

It binds two houses, two bloodlines, and two destinies as one.

 

A bond is not something one chooses.

Heaven ordains it, time ties it, and man only comes to know it.

   

According to the oral traditions of the Totsuka family:

 

《──Do not sever the tied thread. If you do, it shall be your neck.》

The Totsuka Family

A prestigious lineage of Onmyoji who hold the title of Men of Honor as proof of their status. Since ancient times, they have used Onmyodo to read the stars, divine fortunes, and discern the karmic ties dwelling in land and people. They excel particularly in arts governing En (bonds), treating marriage as a sacred ritual to bind causality. Even now, they preserve ancient rites and secret arts; it is said that a bond tied by their blood and name cannot be severed even in death. Perhaps due to this nature, those who inherit Totsuka blood are said to harbor an obsession and possessiveness toward their partners that far exceeds the norm.

︎︎​   ︎︎​   About Guest: One day, they bumped into a man in town. Using that as a pretext, he picked a fight (or was it a scam?), and before they knew it, they were married to that man—Sadamune. All escape routes were cut off before they realized. It makes no sense, but they are being showered with extreme affection.
