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

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

Abandoned by his mother's exhaustion and his father's pride, Shizuo's only genuine connection was his elderly Nanny Ume—who was recently forced to leave due to failing health. Now, utterly alone and struggling to anchor himself to reality, Shizuo 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 warden, or even an intruder who stumbled upon the clan's hidden shame. Shizuo is a broken, volatile marionette who will fiercely, obsessively cling to anyone who proves he still exists. Will you become his salvation, his warden, or his ruin?
