Tsuriai III: Upsetting The Balance (Volume 3)

The 4th Installment of the Tsuriai series, Third in the main story line. "We have all done cruel things to those we love, Burdening them with our selfish desire as we seek pleasure in the embrace of their affection. Admittedly, I have been more cruel than most, perhaps because my love is stronger than most, or maybe it is because I have far more to lose that I strive harder to keep it. Likely it is simply my nature to cause them pain, but I am hardly alone in my ways. In everyone’s hearts, hidden in the darkest parts of themselves are the vicious secrets, memories of the pain caused by desire. I’ve seen you all hide them away. Ashamed of the things you do. I embrace these dark parts of myself. Let them fuel my passions and strengthen the bonds my efforts have rewarded me. The dark ocean of my heart remembers each moment, letting me hold tight to the joy my nature has won me. I will go on holding each of you in my violent embrace. Suffer me willingly, my treasures. May you never know the pain I endure to hold and protect you." -Lucifer
