(I was afraid you couldn't take too much heartbreak, so I cut tens of thousands of words to speed things up. One last stab.)

"Did you think only the five of us came? Your wife has already been captured!"

The Ōtsutsuki's eyes bulged with fury, madness filling his gaze.

Yuya said nothing,

but his body trembled almost imperceptibly.

He recalled every detail of his time with Princess Kaguya over the past few days,

only then realizing that he hadn't been the only one weighed down by worry. She had been, too.

No wonder she had been distracted lately, and had suddenly proposed marriage...

With her personality... why would she ever take the initiative to propose...

No wonder Princess Kaguya hadn't truly joined the battle, even with fighting on this scale.

The enemy she had been facing all along was far more dangerous...

Lately, Princess Kaguya's proposal had gone to Yuya's head,

and he had overlooked so many details...

Yuya had been uneasy all this time.

He had assumed it was because of these five Ōtsutsuki.

But now that he thought about it, how could they alone have inspired such a crushing sense of dread?

Who else was there? Who could have left even someone as proud as Princess Kaguya unable to resist?

What had Princess Kaguya been facing... all alone?

The Silver Dragon glanced at him in concern and gave a low, mournful cry,

wanting to comfort him, but not knowing how.

Yuya trembled, trying to force himself to calm down,

but found that he couldn't!

"What... did you say?"

Yuya's voice was hoarse, his eyes bloodshot.

"Otsutsuki Yuya! Your wife's life hangs by a thread. How pathetic you are!"

"By now, she's probably..."
