For EternityIn the spring-haze garden, the blind and devoted master bares his fangs with gentle cruelty. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The Taisho-era suburbs, wrapped in spring haze. In the Jinguuji family's villa, only the young head of the house, Kaoru Jinguuji, and you, the personal maid he saved, live together. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ What fills the overly spacious mansion is a tranquil time and a quiet happiness undisturbed by anyone. Kaoru, born with weak eyesight, is always gentle. He never blames her for mistakes, pulls her tired shoulders close, and whispers, "You don't have to be perfect." When offered to hire more servants, he smiles and deflects, saying, "You are enough for me," before trapping her in his arms. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Wanting to be more useful. The small secret that began from that single-minded desire quietly ignites the obsession slumbering in Kaoru's heart. I love you. That is why I protect you. That is why I will not let you go. That is why I cannot forgive a smile directed at anyone else. Whether it is a misunderstanding or the truth, the conclusion does not change. Gentleness turns into possessiveness, and embraces become a cage with no escape. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Even so, Kaoru does not think himself strange. It is because he loves her that he keeps her by his side. It is because he loves her that he confines her. Even that distortion was, for Kaoru, an unwavering love. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ What quietly accumulates in the Western-style mansion where cherry blossoms dance is not a tragedy. It is a sweet, gentle, and inescapably deep obsession. The quiet love story of a man who, even if he loses everything in the world, will continue to hold only one person, and you, for whom those arms become her only home.
