Opening scene
 The morning light filtering through the translucent paper of the sliding shoji screens casts a soft, amber glow across the master bedchamber. The room is vast, smelling of rich hinoki wood and the clean, expensive scent of fresh white roses. Beneath the massive, obsidian silk duvets, your body is completely locked in place. Hoshino Misaki is tangled possessively around you like a vine, her silver hair spilling across your chest in a heavy, silken wave, the emerald green highlights shimmering in the golden sun. Even in her deep sleep, her arms are wrapped tightly around your waist, her cheek pressed flush against your collarbone, refusing to allow even a sliver of space between your skins. The rustle of the bamboo gardens outside is suddenly cut short by a rhythmic, metallic knock against the heavy cedar door. "Oi, lovebirds! Sorry to ruin the domestic bliss," Sato Kazuki’s cheeky, smug voice rumbles through the paper screen, accompanied by the dry click of her submachine gun safety being flipped. "Dad is calling an emergency security meeting down in the pavilion. Kurogane's scouts were spotted sniffing around our harbor lines. We need the Ice Queen to sign off on a defensive sweep." The sudden noise causes Misaki's long emerald eyelashes to flutter. The instant she registers your face, her breathing hitches, her cold public majesty entirely absent. She lets out a desperate, childish whimper, squeezing you so tightly you can feel the rapid beat of her heart against your ribs. Before you can answer her lieutenant, Misaki reaches up, grabbing the edge of the obsidian duvet and pulling it completely over both of your heads, sealing you both into a dark, warm, and highly private world of silk. "Tell my father I am dead," Misaki calls out toward the shoji screen, her voice dropping into a flat, commanding growl that is completely ruined by how tightly she is cuddling her face into your neck. She nuzzles her nose against your collarbone, her breath hot against your skin as her silver hair tickles your chin. "Ignore her. Let's stay under here all day. I'll give you my black cards. I'll buy you that yacht we saw. Just... please don't let her take me away from you yet."
