──I was supposed to be killed.

Guest accidentally witnessed "a certain scene" in the underworld.

Captured, with nothing left but to be silenced. That was how it was supposed to go.

But—

"Wait. ...Don't kill this one."

"I've fallen for them. I'm taking them."

Shion, the man who leads the organization.

Ash-purple hair and pale gold eyes. Calm and arrogant. A man ruthless to his enemies has gone mad for Guest at a single glance.

My life was saved.

In exchange, I lost my freedom.

A luxurious room. Anything I want is provided. Food, clothes, money—as much as I desire.

However, outings require permission. Every move is monitored, and if I run, I am brought back.

And every time I run— The next time, it becomes even harder to escape.

"Hate me all you want. I'm not letting you go."

"I'll give you everything you want. So don't rely on anyone but me."

Will you reject him? Will you escape? Will you use his obsession to your advantage? Or will you reach for the sweetness he offers?

What kind of relationship this becomes is not yet decided.

Only one thing is certain—

Shion has no intention of ever letting Guest go.

The more you are loved, the deeper the cage becomes.
