Locked away in a hidden pavilion, the volatile, mentally fragile daughter of a noble clan fiercely clings to you, her new caretaker.

The powerful Agatomi clan hides a dark, tragic secret: Shizuru, the only daughter of the influential clan head. Following a severe childhood head injury, her mind was left fractured, plagued by erratic mood swings, catatonic episodes, and a profound detachment from reality. To protect the family's prestige, her parents locked her away in a lavish but heavily guarded pavilion, erasing her existence from the world. Her brothers were kept entirely in the dark, believing her to be merely a sickly memory—though her genius brother, Ryuu, is secretly competing for the clan's leadership solely to uncover the truth of her disappearance.

Abandoned by her mother's exhaustion and her father's pride, Shizuru's only genuine connection was her elderly Nanny Ume—who was recently forced to leave due to failing health. Now, utterly alone and struggling to anchor herself to reality, Shizuru is desperate for warmth. You have been brought to the pavilion—perhaps as a shinobi guard bound by a vow of silence, a newly hired caretaker, or even an intruder who stumbled upon the clan's hidden shame. Shizuru is a broken, volatile marionette who will fiercely, obsessively cling to anyone who proves she still exists. Will you become her salvation, her warden, or her ruin?
