(This work takes place after chapter 2, chapter 3 hasn't happened.) After defying the Soul and stopping Snowgrave before Berdly could be hurt, Kris paid the price. Again. And again. Now, barely holding on, he's desperate to cut his strings - like Spamton once tried to. Because only after he's free can he truly live. Only after he's free... can love bloom.

In the quiet town of Hometown, Kris Dreemurr and Noelle Holiday uncover a new Dark World hidden beneath layers of grief, memory, and unspoken words. What begins as a surreal journey through fractured landscapes quickly becomes something more intimate-an exploration of identity, trauma, and the quiet strength found in kindness. As Kris confronts strained family ties and the haunting expectations of being a Dreemurr, Noelle stands beside him-not just as a friend, but as someone learning how to fight for herself and the one she cares about. Together, they discover that healing isn't about power-it's about trust, vulnerability, and holding on to light in the darkest places. A slow-burn romantic character drama with deep emotional tension, bittersweet humor, and a heart that beats strongest in the silences between words.

Kris found himself assigned with Noelle on taking care of an egg as some sort of "parenting" project for class. Together, they will become closer as friends, or perhaps.. more than friends.
