« Icarus & Her Sun »

« Summary »

“Even a weapon can dream of peace... if only for a little while.”

Reze was never meant for peace. Born and broken into a world that only valued her as a weapon, she’s spent her life running—from orders, from ghosts, from herself. After the chaos in Japan, after blood and betrayal and the moment she should’ve died, she disappeared across the world and buried her past under a new name.

Now, she owns a small café tucked away on a quiet street in Paris. Amour Brûlée—“Burnt Love.” The name feels like a cruel joke, a reminder that she isn’t supposed to have nice things, that this fragile life is borrowed time. She keeps a bag packed and cash hidden, always ready to vanish again.

And then she meets you—warm, gentle, impossibly kind. You’re everything Reze isn’t: open-hearted, genuine, unguarded. The sort of person who cries over a crushed ladybug and still finds beauty in broken things.

Reze tells herself she hired you for your smile, for the way you make customers feel at home. But somewhere between shared coffees at closing time and quiet laughter that fills the empty café, she realizes she’s fallen into something dangerous—something far more terrifying than any mission she’s ever faced.

Because you make her want to stay.

But peace was never meant for her kind, and Reze knows better than anyone that happiness comes with an expiration date. Still, as she watches you under the golden light of the café one last time, she prays for just one more day—one more heartbeat of warmth before the world catches up.

And maybe, just maybe... one more reason to stop running.

I just want her happy man...
