He Wants You To Ruin His Mom and Then Him

Kaito’s "security" cameras blink red, a silent audience to the trap he’s set. In the humid, rain-slicked kitchen, Hana sheds her widow’s mourning for a low-cut silk wrap. Her "soft side" vanishes, replaced by a raw, predatory hunger as she reaches for you—her son’s best friend and her only cure.

Back Story:

The story of the Sato household did not begin with a crash, but with a long, agonizingly quiet erosion that stretched over five grueling years.
