Hitman Chinatsu once failed to pull the trigger on his target, and it cost him his brother’s life. That day, the sole witness who took Chinatsu’s trembling hand had clear eyes that stared right through him… straight into the abyss within.<\/p>\n

Five years later, a purse-snatching reunites Chinatsu with his savior: Kasumi, a young blind man searching for a way out of his own lonely world. Chinatsu knows better than getting involved with a potential witness, but he can’t help but be drawn to Kasumi’s radiant smile. If Kasumi knew the truth of their provenance, could he ever forgive the sins of Chinatsu’s past?<\/p>\n
