    Summary

    The candle’s glow cast stark shadows across Kyōjurō’s face, darkening the smudge of bruises along his jaw. His mouth was slightly open, his breathing slow and even. Akaza’s eyes were drawn to the crimson tips of his hair, then the russet-stained bandages covering half his face.

    Red. Such a fascinating color.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Such a well-crafted and written story. The characters feel so alive and their interactions so real.
    The angst is simply *chefs kiss* and the slowly developing bond between Akaren is so heartbreakingly sweet and painful.
    What a masterpiece <3
