Chapter 83 — The Pale Ecstasy Opens Its Eyes
---
Location: Tokyo – Now renamed "Cravefield"
The city isn't Tokyo anymore.
It's a mirror.
A living fantasy engine.
Built from everyone's hidden hunger.
The Pale Ecstasy—no longer just a dimension—
is now blended into reality.
Buildings pulse.
Billboards whisper your desires.
And behind every glass, every reflection…
is you.
But twisted.
Craving.
Watching.

Mirror Doubles
Citizens begin to notice something terrifying:
> "I'm being followed… by myself. But it's the version of me that… never says no."
They're called Wantskins.
Fragments of desire, birthed by the Triad Binding.
And Yuuto?
He's got hundreds following him.
Each one lusts for something different.
Some kneel.
Some fight.
One even cries while pleasuring itself.
> "I'm the piece you left behind when you stopped needing love."
Yuuto doesn't fear them.
He understands them.

Cravefield Unleashed
Society shifts.
Jobs are assigned by what arouses you.
Classes are replaced with pleasure refinement.
Law is rewritten: "Consent is sacred. Craving is divine."
But in the shadows…
Old Gods stir.
And not all of them believe desire should be shared.
Some want control back.

Yuuto's Decision
From the rooftop of Lustspire Tower, Yuuto watches his city twist with want.
Aika stands beside him, her curse now a crown.
Rei holds a blade made of compressed moans.
> "They want to follow you, Yuuto," Rei says.
"You could be the King of Craving."
He looks down at the street.
People kissing strangers.
Others worshipping their reflections.
Some drowning in ecstasy.
> "No," he replies.
"I'll be their Mirror."
> "So they see what they are… and what they hide."

Foreshadowing
The sky cracks.
A new gate opens.
And from it walks a figure in gold chains and shadow.
> "So the boy awakens…"
"Let's see if your craving can rival my wrath."
Yuuto narrows his eyes.
> "Let's find out."
