both their families, murdered a majority of the other family.
Both abused each other. one stabbed the other. they both have so many nightmares about their dead family members, their horrible deaths, and guilt for being with someone of the family who caused them pain.
But despite it all, and all the struggles, they stay together. they love each other. they are trying to become each others light, in their dark lives.

then we have the seme from an abusive family originally, his mother scarred him, mentally and physically. cause having him, made her not a beautiful younger woman, but an older mother. she resents him for it. she has mental issues.
our seme has a heavy past, of being in america,i believe, with an attendant who was watching out for him. He was sleeping with him, while knowing he was getting married, and expecting a child. comments of his body is always so cold, that he needs his body warmth to keep him alive. He ends up dying, while breaking his heart. later, at his graveside, he meets his wife and their son, who she calls by his own name. she says his father picked it out and kept calling for him at the end of his life.
kaoru is terrified of becoming "ugly", like his mother. a thing seathing in jealousy and nastiness. It kind of haunts him at times.

Or be it being rapes all the time growing up, and being raised as an assassin. or that his mother killed herself soon after he was born, his older brother hating and poisoning him, leading to him being blind. His brother will never stop until he is dead. neither will any of the other two ghosts.
