    Summary

    A decade has passed since Kanai Ward confronted the truth—and began stitching itself back together. But beneath the city’s polished surface, shadows still linger. At its center stands Makoto Kagutsuchi, the elusive CEO of Amaterasu, watching over his city with eyes that miss nothing… and reveal even less.

    When the notorious Yomi Hellsmile vanishes from his prison cell, leaving only his own blood behind, the city holds its breath. In the silence that follows, a letter finds its way to Lucian Foresight, a former detective long since burned by the past. Makoto offers him a job: investigate the escape, and protect him from the threat Yomi poses.

    Reluctantly, Lucian accepts. But the deeper he delves into the case—and into Makoto—the harder it becomes to untangle truth from illusion. Secrets unfold like petals, delicate and dangerous, as a bond forms between them—tense, electric, and impossible to ignore.

    Drawn to Makoto’s masked elegance and haunted by his own past, Lucian finds himself caught in a mystery far larger than he imagined. As he uncovers the truth behind his Vampiric Forte and Yomi’s disappearance, one thing becomes clear: this is more than a case.
