Wow… this story absolutely gripped me from start to finish. I loved how the author wove tension and emotion together, Shigure’s pain and Hatori’s quiet strength felt so real, and the way Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru’s moments of warmth balanced the darker scenes was perfect. The family dynamics were messy, tender, and heartbreakingly believable. How do you imagine Shigure’s relationship with the rest of the family evolving after all of this?
