The Wall Between Us

Yuto woke in a borrowed body with a beast cage in front of him and a job nobody else could do. He had spent five years learning how to tell if a monster was angry, scared, or trying to speak, and that skill kept him alive when a new court tried to use him like a tool. Then he learned the worst part. He had landed inside the role of the man who was supposed to stand beside the villainess when her fall began. He hid what he knew, arranged flowers with the calm of a man trimming away dead stems, and kept taking jobs that brought him closer to a ruin he already recognized. The person smiling beside him was the girl he was trying hardest not to betray.
