"why do you play?" he asked one evening, finding you had been practicing alone while the other residents were outside in the pool. his finger had tapped on the page you were fixated on, allowing you to glance up and meet his gaze as well as read the lips that spoke of syllables deaf to your ears. you peered at him curiously, and for a moment chishiya thought that maybe he had spoken too quick for you to comprehend. but before he could fix his mistake you were fixing your bench and tapping on the keys, a melody entrancing his ears. many emotions hit him at once, leaving him in a daze and struggling to grasp onto them all. but he listened, he put his full attention to the sounds you played trying to give him what he wanted. it was giving him a sense of...clarity was it? is this what the music you had no ability to understand leaving you with? why? it left him frustrated, for he was not happy with the outcome of his curiosity. how were you able to find such solitude in the very thing you lacked? what did that leave him with? eventually the sounds ceased, until you stilled your hands and dropped them to lay in your lap. you peered up at him, awaiting his reaction and chishiya could only provide you with a fake enough smile to label him a phony, "how peculiar."

There was only one person whom Chishiya found fascinating both in the real world and in borderland. Her.

Ren felt hopeless. Ren was lost in life, with no real future ahead of her except caring for her siblings. Even with her sister's cancer treatment and visiting her every single day. Ren was just stuck doing the same thing over and over and over again. Until she find herself stuck somewhere new - somewhere that looks like her home, but wasn't. And games that are far more deadlier than your average game.

♜ Shuntarō Chishiya x Fem Reader ♞ "Alice in Borderland" SEASON 2 ♝ No Smut, Only Angst "I had nothing left to lose, but now I do. I can't lose you, not again, not ever." • FINAL WORD COUNT: 85.07k • ꧁♚--------{♛}--------♚꧂ Y/N Chinen has Dissociative Amnesia, which is memory loss caused by trauma or stress, resulting in the struggle of recalling personal information. She was diagnosed with this mental disorder when she was young after an unknown event that left her traumatized and forgetful. Y/N remembers nothing but fragments of her youth, including the people involved, but with psychotherapy, she doesn't tend to forget crucial things in the present. But, that was before the world flipped upside down, where Y/N woke up in the hospital completely alone. Days go by living in this Borderland, never leaving the state of shock as she participates in immortal games. But, without her doctor giving her psychotherapy, she forgets fragments of things that happen the day before. To keep herself sane and safe, she writes in a journal to keep track of who she is now rather than who she was before, a participant in the Borderlands. As days go by in the Borderlands, Y/N forgets how much time passes by before the face cards were introduced. This new stage introduces her to Shuntarō Chishiya, a man who seems like a stranger to her, but in reality was the same doctor who gave her psychotherapy.
