Every kill made him sick to his stomach, yet he endured it as his duty. He was empty and broken inside, until the day he met her. She changed him. He laid down his sword, swore never to fight again, and found true peace. But his father, the King, was furious. Seeing his son become "soft," he forcefully married the girl off to a cruel man far away. That man abused her and eventually burned her alive. The Prince arrived too late, holding her as she took her last breath. Mad with sorrow, he killed her husband, but the people only saw a monster. They hated and feared him, ignoring his pain. Realizing his own father was the cause of it all, he was consumed by rage. He set the entire palace on fire, letting the flames consume everything, including himself. But death did not free him. He transformed into a Gashadokuro—a giant skeletal spirit—or an Enenra, a Yokai made of smoke and shadow. Now, he rules in another realm, forced to wear his crown for eternity. One day, while wandering the darkness, he encountered a Nure-onna—a snake woman Yokai—carrying You a beautiful, glowing lost angel she had captured. They bumped into each other. Without a word, he snatched you away, shoved you inside a large bag to hide your light, and walked away.
