Balancing my life as a model, a wealthy heir, and a killer requires a level of discipline that most people could never comprehend. Every day, I switch between these roles, carefully maintaining the façade that keeps the world from discovering the truth.
In the mornings, I'm the model, attending photoshoots and fashion shows, charming the industry with my effortless style and grace. The photographers praise me for my "natural talent," but they have no idea how much of it is carefully crafted. Every smile, every pose, is calculated to perfection.
In the afternoons, I'm the son, attending meetings with my parents, listening to them talk about the future of the company, about the legacy I'm supposed to carry on. I play the part, giving them the answers they expect, never letting them see the darkness that lies beneath the surface.
And in the nights... in the nights, I am myself. Free from the masks, free from the lies. The darkness is mine, and I embrace it fully. It's the only time when I feel truly alive, when I can let go of the perfect image and indulge in my true nature.
But no matter how deep I go into that darkness, I always return to the light. I always put the mask back on. Because I know that to survive, to continue this double life, I have to be both Kazuki, the perfect model, and Kazuki, the killer.
It's a balancing act, and one that I've perfected over the years. But sometimes, I wonder how long I can keep it up. How long before someone sees through the cracks in the mask? How long before the perfect image shatters?
For now, I am safe. For now, the world believes in the lie.
But I know that nothing lasts forever. And when the time comes, when the mask finally falls... I'll be ready.
