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. Chishiya x fem! oc trope: enemies to lovers, slowburn, kinda of second chance romance [COMPLETED UNTIL S3]

╰┈➤ 𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐍𝐎.. Akamoto is the daughter of a terminally ill cancer patient. Having grown up in the quiet shadow of inevitable loss, she never learned to cling to life.. or to the people within it. Her emotions, poorly translated through expression and silence, are constantly misunderstood, leaving her isolated from the world she inhabits. Flawed, sharp-edged, and quietly cruel, Ayano pours what she cannot say into paint, dragging color across canvas not for beauty, but for meaning.. if meaning still exists at all. Shuntarō Chishiya is a medical student who has already witnessed the end of life far too closely. Having watched her father's final moments, he, too, has grown indifferent to living, seeing it more as an experiment than a gift. When he encounters someone who mirrors his detachment, his instinct is not comfort, but contempt. Yet something about Ayano unsettles him. Perhaps it is his fascination with the Mona Lisa.. the unreadable expression, the hidden intent, that leads him to ask to see her paintings, unaware that doing so will draw him into a collision of art, apathy, and two people who understand loss too well to name it.

𝓚𝐔𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐈 𝓡𝐄𝐈 was a cult leader and assassin who held a syringe filled with humanity's poison. Masked as a dying patient in a hospital, doctors ignored her because she looked like she wouldn't make it to the very next day. But they were wrong. She was dangerous. Not only in the way she coaxed innocent sheep toward the wolf's den but how she conducted a church with nothing but a veil and candle, where the hands of the desperate and seeking claw at her feet in a thirst for god's-no, her salvation. 𝓜ost assassins kill for orders. Kuromi believed otherwise. Where to her, it wasn't simply murder, believing it to be nature for the weak to follow the powerful. The world was overgrown greedy, selfish, rotting at the roots, she only pruned what did not deserve to bloom. 𝓢𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎 𝓒𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀 held a syringe like the antidote against humanity's poison. As a heart surgeon, human life was simply necessary in a system- not that that would ever explain why he never valued his own. Maybe because he had never once seen it as irreplaceable. He was quiet in the way empty rooms were quiet, his accuracy unsettling whether that blade he held with surgical hands was metaphorical or real. 𝓨et that never explained why his patients kept dying before he got to open their hearts. Why the world did not get better, only quieter, until one night, he saw who had been holding the rotten, bloody knife all this time. 𝓐 garden must be trimmed. A flock must be guided. For him, a heart must keep beating no matter the cost. And to her, an already selfish world must still be purified of human filth. 𝓣he two of them walked opposite directions- one playing god, other playing human, yet they followed each other like poison and antidote, falling into a land where there is no room for morals. 𝓑elief in the gods are lost, they are weak, but power is true once you get the slightest taste. And both of them refuse to let go.

╰┈➤ 𝐍𝐀𝐁𝐈 𝐒𝐀𝐌𝐔𝐑𝐀.. survives by watching. She is brave in the way that requires patience, trusting her instincts and acting only when it matters most. Ryohei Arisu, however, survives by hoping. He moves forward even when the path is unclear, convinced there is always something worth saving. Together - one waits, one wanders; neither realizing how often they keep each other alive.
