introduction

Giyuu Tomioka had long abandoned the notion of love. His heart, hardened by duty and regret, carried the weight of Shinobu Kocho's death-an event that shattered him beyond repair. She had been his light, but he failed to protect her. The guilt was a constant shadow in his life.

Then, impossibly, fate gave him a second chance. Shinobu stood before him, alive, the same warmth in her eyes. The world seemed to pause, but as he faced her, one question remained: could he save her this time? Could he protect his butterfly, or would history repeat itself?
