Sabrina sighed, her fingers playing with the edge of the coverlet. “He’s not just going to let us walk away. And even if we succeed… he’s my brother, Miura.”

Miura tilted Sabrina’s chin upward, forcing their gazes to meet. “Family doesn’t excuse what he’s done. You know that.”

“I do,” Sabrina admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. “But I also know what will happen if we’re caught.”

Miura’s expression softened, but her resolve didn’t waver. “Then we won’t be caught. Together, we’re stronger than him. Stronger than all of them.”

Sabrina nodded, her heart heavy but determined. “Together.”

Miura pressed a gentle kiss to Sabrina’s forehead. “Rest now. Tomorrow, we take the first step.”
