Summary: Canon divergent after the events with the Nine-Tailed Fox. Set 4 years after the events against the Illuminati, all contact with Shima Renzou has been cut. None of his family, nor any of his former friends, have seen or heard from him since then, and to say its got them concerned would be an understatement. Every trail has gone cold, and the searches have, for the most part, stopped. Ryuji and Renzou had been in a relationship before the Tamer had disappeared, but after so long, its hard to tell where Ryuji's feelings lie.
After a particular phone call, Ryuji's world is flipped upside down, leaving him to make a big decision. Will he forgive the man who broke his heart? Where will they go from there? And why is Renzou struggling to function on his own?
Forgiveness doesn't come easy, and traitors never promise twice.
