This is a dual project written by ZER0 and @Mr_TV_Head-Man This story follows Monaxia, a detached and quietly unsettling twelve-year-old, and Alexios, a thirteen-year-old whose world slowly narrows until it revolves almost entirely around Monaxia. What begins as an awkward, fragile friendship grows into something heavier-built on shared silence, miscommunication, obsession, and an unbalanced need to protect and be protected. Across a series of "cases," the narrative explores bullying, control, misplaced affection, and moral absence through the perspectives of children who don't fully understand what they're becoming. Monaxia observes the world as something to test rather than belong to, while Alexios clings to him as an anchor, even as that attachment begins to erode his sense of self. The story is intentionally uncomfortable at times-quiet instead of explosive, intimate without being romanticized-focusing on how bonds can form not from warmth, but from proximity, vulnerability, and mutual damage. There are no clear heroes here, only kids learning the wrong lessons a little too well.
