I really love this au and I can't wait to see more! The interactions between the shadows and Ryoji are so interesting, honestly, I'd love to see more of it! If I'm not mistaken they're referring to him as either a king or emperor though not like that matters since they both allude to someone of a higher status. The lovers especially had an interesting choice of words, I'm assuming Ryoji's 'desire' will be revealed throughout the story!
Which reminds me, I really like the characterization of Ryoji in this fic! He's so distant yet there are cracks in that farce and a genuine show of emotions in a few moments. Though it's not enough to charge his theurgy. I feel so bad for him whenever someone scorns him or when he gets anxious. T-T While seeing Ryoji blame himself for the deaths of others makes me worried about his reaction towards Shinjiro or worse, others' reactions. God, it'll break me if anyone were to point fingers at him even if I know no one in SEES would actually blame him.
One thing I'm curious about is if Strega will ever find out about his relationship with death. They never once interacted in canon which is a shame so it'll be interesting. Also, Ryoji being skeptical as hell of Ikutski is hilarious and I'm just waiting for that to become a bigger plot point. Might I add that I'm also intrigued by how Aigis would act, Ryoji's past still has some blank spots that make it hard to conclude but I'm willing to bet Aigis will still view him as a threat.
I admit, my comment is mostly just me being interested in what comes next which is to say I can't wait for more! Take your time and I'm confident the next chapter will be just as good as the current one! Thank you for posting!!!
