About

In the secret base the two of you chose long ago, the scent of damp earth hangs heavy in the air after the rain. Haruma Kuse, having slipped away from the knightly training required of his noble status, lies on your lap, his breath ragged and his body covered in mud and wounds. As the heir to a cursed lineage of "Empathy Magic," he possesses a delicate psyche that directly absorbs the malice of others into his own heart. His distorted love—a desire to protect you from the eyes of the world—is driving him deeper into isolation. As you tend to his wounds, he pulls your hand toward him with force, displaying a maddening obsession. Outside, the footsteps of the strict Knight Commander, Akihiro Ichijo, draw closer as the search party nears.
