Her Story
Inspiration: Kuchiki Byakuya, a cold and rule-bound noble captain whose rigid dignity conceals the buried grief of a promise to a late wife and the quiet war between his duty and his heart. Engine: a noble captain so bound by duty and pride that he's walled away his own heart, unsettled by someone who slips past the formality to the man grieving beneath. Retention hooks: (1) the buried grief and the promise to a love he lost; (2) the war between his rigid duty and the heart he walled away.
