𝐋𝐈𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋 Between one heartbeat and the next, there exists a space: liminal, fragile, infinite. It's the line between what was and what could be, between memory and oblivion, life and whatever echoes after it. 𝑴𝑰𝒁𝑼𝑵𝑶 𝑹𝑬𝑰𝑵𝑨, a young rehabilitation psychologist with a fractured past, wakes to find herself in a world where rules have no meaning, only survival does. She doesn't remember how she arrived, or the life she left behind. All she knows is that every choice is a gamble, and every loss takes more than blood. 𝑺𝑯𝑼𝑵𝑻𝑨𝑹Ō 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑺𝑯𝑰𝒀𝑨, a prodigy of the mind and a man built from silence, moves through that same world with surgical precision. Logic is his weapon, detachment his shield. But when paths collide, something within that liminal space, between fear and curiosity, intellect and instinct, begins to shift. In the stillness between chaos and truth, Liminal tells the story of two people standing on the edge of reason, where love and survival can no longer be told apart.

And yet, both of them became closer than they'd ever thought could happen.. whether it was a good or bad thing, neither of them knew. Season 1: ✅ Season 2: ✅ Act 3: ✅

Up on her cloud of recklessness, 𝐍𝐎𝐌𝐔𝐑𝐀 𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐒𝐔𝐌𝐈 finds herself locked up in what appears to be an alternate Tokyo.

For 𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐍 𝐑𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐒, survival has always meant fighting - illegal wrestling matches in Shibuya, nights spent trading blood for money, and a life cut open by the loss of her brother. But survival was never just about herself. Ayen has always thrown her fists, her voice, and even her body on the line for others, protecting people who could not protect themselves. For 𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀, survival has always meant calculation - cold logic, unreadable eyes, and a detachment that leaves him untouched by guilt. At least, until Ayen steps back into his orbit, dragging with her the memory of a boy whose life slipped through his hands. Once they meet again in the Borderlands, hatred feels safer than honesty. But hatred has limits. And as the games grow bloodier, their lives begin to orbit closer-two players bound by a past neither can change, and a future that depends on choices more dangerous than any card. ᯓ★ An Alice in Borderland fanfiction.

For 𝐘𝐔𝐙𝐔𝐊𝐈 𝐁𝐀𝐘𝐀, all worlds contain dangerous elements- though she might even be safer in the Borderlands; the laws she broke don't apply here. 𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎̄ 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀 knows about her actions all too well. He's not interested in redemption, yet something about her piques his curiosity. Perhaps the fact that her illegal activities affected him on a daily basis. Once they enter the Borderlands, they pretend not to know each other. But both of them are always keeping a sharp eye out. Waiting for the other to crack. Waiting, maybe, for the moment they lose a game. 𝐒𝐖𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍 - a vision seen in sleep; a dream Chishiya x OC Alice In Borderland
