The Quietest Knife

dr_ban99
Willow Hale survives the crash. Miles was driving. He walks away without a scratch. That should have been the worst part. It wasn't. She wakes up in a hospital bed and finds her life already gone. Miles stands beside her bed, calm, composed, holding another woman's hand. His boss's daughter. Christy Cordell. He tells the doctors everything. Voice steady. Eyes soft with concern. They broke up weeks before the accident, he says. Mutual. He only stayed because leaving felt cruel. Then he adds the detail that changes everything. Willow left him. For Zane. His best friend. The one man in the room who could end the lie with a single word. Zane looks at the floor. And nods. Drugged. Broken. Surrounded by faces repeating the same rehearsed story, Willow understands too late what is being built around her. One careless comment about confusion after trauma is all Miles needs. He turns betrayal into medical fact. Her engagement disappears in one clinical breath. Her memories become unreliable. Her grief gets filed under head injury. So, Willow stops arguing. Stops crying. Let them believe she's broken. But she remembers everything. This was never confusion. Miles had already replaced her before the crash ever happened. Zane just helped him bury the evidence. They think they rewrote her life while she was too shattered to stop them. They think silence means surrender. They have no idea what she's building behind that silence. Some men destroy loudly. The dangerous ones do it with soft voices, folded hands, and no blood anywhere in sight. And the quietest knife always cuts the deepest.

Multiverse Anime: The Population Revitalization Plan of Gensokyo

Synopsis: [Bunbunmaru News Flash] At night, strange “card game” noises echo through the Bamboo Forest of the Lost. The Scarlet Devil Mansion has been bulk-purchasing fashionable stockings from dungeons. Meanwhile, an eerie green light shoots into the sky above the Hakurei Shrine. The infamous black-and-white thief repeatedly fails her heists, leaving with trembling legs. A self-proclaimed S-Class hero girl collapses from sheer exhaustion. A purple-haired girl capable of creating monsters teams up with a puppet master from the Magic Forest, constructing a Mecha-Godzilla, and launching a full-scale arena battle against three alien sisters! Is all of this part of Kihara’s grand scheme to overthrow the Yakumo family and establish a harem empire across all of Gensokyo… —or is it the Moon Princess secretly pulling the strings from beneath the table? Want to know what happens next? Don’t miss the next issue! Kaguya tossed the newspaper in front of Kihara, narrowing her eyes. “You’re the shrine maiden’s fiancé, aren’t you? Running around flirting with everyone doesn’t look very good, you know.” “How am I flirting?!” Kihara shot back. “Wasn’t all of this because of you and Yukari? I’m doing this to save Gensokyo!” He took a sip of his goji flower tea, answering with full confidence: “I’ve been traveling across worlds, working day and night to save Gensokyo. Even if I don’t get credit, I’ve definitely put in the effort! You can’t just slander me like that out of nowhere!” ........... Hello everyone this is going to be my new translation project.
