[Hunter] Come Here and Cuddle! Illumi

I, Lydia Vano, am the daughter of the head of Venus Casino.

I have money! Power! And an absurd amount of luck. The only downside is that I'm poisonous.

Literally poisonous. My entire body is toxic.

Anyone I touch dies. Anyone I brush against drops dead, and I have no control over it.

This poison is both a gift and a curse, condemning me to a lifetime without intimacy.

Just as I thought I'd be alone forever, he appeared.

A sudden accident, a fleeting glimpse.

He had flowing black hair, skin as fair as snow, eyes like black obsidian, a slim waist and long legs, and an aura of effortless cool. He was a...

beauty.

We met in passing, and I ended up in his arms.

Our fingertips touched. His skin was soft and smooth, his arms strong and firm, and, most importantly...

He didn't die.

In that moment, I grabbed him like a lifeline.

The beauty stayed by my side. The first thing I did every morning was hug him, cuddle him, and snuggle close.

His warm, gentle touch was addictive. I wished I could turn into a human-shaped accessory and stay attached to him forever.

Just when I thought we'd live happily [in love] like this forever, I discovered he came from a famous assassin family.

"The Zoldycks???"

I looked at the delicate beauty beside me, who needed me to do everything for him, from eating and drinking to using the bathroom.

Love is precious, but life is more precious. Sometimes love means letting go.

I ran away...

But living without him was unbearable. It felt as if countless ants were crawling over my body, a needle kept jabbing at my mind, and someone was always watching me from the shadows.

That feeling of being watched hung over my head, curled around the bridge of my nose, and lurked right beside me. It was suffocating.

Then one night, I woke with a start.

In a daze, I saw him, the one I'd been trying to give up, right beside me.

As our lips and teeth parted, the alluring moonlight scattered silver over his face.

When he saw I was awake, he sat up slightly and placed my hand against his face.

Illumi: "Lydia, want to cuddle?"

Me: "…"

Theme: Live well, and love you slowly.
