At the Tohsaka mansion's gate, Kariya Matou stared at the kneeling figure before him, his brow furrowed in surprise.
It was Kariya's older brother, Byakuya Matou, the eldest son and heir to the Matou family. Despite their close blood relation, there was little familial affection between them, not within the notoriously dysfunctional Matou clan.
"What do you want?" Kariya asked, his voice cold. He had no love for Byakuya, who had always treated him with disdain. And seeing him now, his face etched with a desperate plea—it couldn't be anything good.
Kariya, finally free of the Matou's clutches, enjoying a peaceful life with Tokiomi Tohsaka, wasn't about to get dragged back into their family drama.
'Let that old worm deal with his own problems.'
He reached for the door, intending to shut it in Byakuya's face.
"Kariya, please! For the sake of our blood ties, help Shinji!" Byakuya's voice was filled with desperation as he blocked the closing door, clinging to Kariya's leg.
"Something happened to Shinji? Did that old monster do something to him?" Kariya asked, his voice still cold. After all, if anything bad happened to a member of the Matou family, it was usually Zouken's doing.
Byakuya nodded frantically.
