When the modern young man Lin Yue opened his eyes in the cold, he became the most perfect judge in Crowlido's works - Yue.
With long ice-blue hair, silver-white armor, the magic power to control ice and snow, and the established mission of "judging the successor and guarding the balance". But what is hidden in his bones is the temperature from another world.
He had seen Crowley's smiling purple eyes, and heard the other person's words "Your ice has a little more warmth"; he quarreled with the proud sun guardian Keruberos, but he would secretly use ice magic to catch the falling cake crumbs for the other party; he watched the outline of the Moon City Snow Rabbit condensed in the magic, and understood for the first time that "gentleness" is not a weakness, but an anchor that is tougher than the rules.
Crowrido passed away and the cards were scattered. In the sunshine of Tomoeda Town, he met Sakura, who was still a child, as Yukito, and Momoya who always stuffed him lunch boxes. Under the indifferent mask of the judge, Lin Yue's soul was quietly rewriting the details:
When Sakura was tried for the first time, he didn't ask about the level of magic power, but only asked "what do you want to protect with the card";
When Sakura was frustrated in transforming her cards, his "cold water" contained gentle reminders;
Facing the lonely "None" card, he quietly injected a touch of warmth into it, letting it remember the "feeling of being filled."
Ice and warmth coexist in his body, and the mission of the judge is intertwined with the mind of the time traveler. He is no longer the "tool" set by Crowrido, but gradually understands in the bond: the real judgment is never cold rules, but willing protection.
When Sakura's magic illuminates the night sky, when Toya's scarf carries body temperature, and when Kerberos awkwardly calls him "companion", this judge who should belong to ice and snow finally makes the moonlight tinge with the warmth of the human world.
This is a prologue about tenderness - he sticks to the main line, but uses countless details to turn the judge's ice blade into the moonlight that protects the bond.
The intention: to use gentleness as a blade to break the established destiny of "judgment is a cold rule", and in the process of protecting the fetters of the main line, redefine the true meaning of "judgment" - the so-called judgment is ultimately a gentle response to "things worth protecting".
