𝐘𝐔𝐙𝐔𝐊𝐈 𝐁𝐀𝐘𝐀 is picking her life back up after getting hit by a meteorite and making her way out of the black market industry. She puts her childhood dream of becoming a psychologist back into the works. With daily heart aches, she also visits the hospital and meets surgeon 𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎̄ 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀, a man who puts her psychological knowledge to the test. And as the true colors of her friend and housemate Suguru Niragi begin to show, so do the Borderlands. ACT THREE OF SWEVEN BASED OFF SEASON 3 OF AIB. Chishiya x OC

With plenty of struggles, 𝐘𝐔𝐙𝐔𝐊𝐈 𝐁𝐀𝐘𝐀 and 𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎̄ 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀 made it out of the Borderlands safely. Now their lives are becoming peaceful. At least, as peaceful as life gets with three kids. Chishiya was convinced he'd never experience something worse than being buried alive, but when his youngest daughter 𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐀 starts to show a little too much interest in Arisu and Usagi's son-𝐊𝐀𝐄𝐃𝐄-, he begins to long for the coffin again. In ancient myths, realms like the underworld are never truly destroyed; they only get put 'to sleep' by powerful anchors- linchpins, for example. So when the linchpin's oldest son gets too close to the everlasting playing cards, he 𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 something familiar.

𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐘𝐀 𝐃𝐎𝐃𝐎 found a strange vitality in the borderlands, a place where survival was a daily battle. It was an oddity, this sense of aliveness amidst constant danger, as if the very act of fighting for her life was what made her feel most real. 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀 Shuntaro Chishiya found an inner death in the borderlands, a stark contrast to his life as a heroic surgeon. He was now haunted by the helplessness of sacrificing lives for his own survival, a burden that weighed heavily on his soul. In the borderlands, their paths collide, sparking a turmoil of vengeance and protection. Kaiya, consumed by grief, does everything in her power to torment Chishiya, the man she holds responsible for her brother's death. Yet, Chishiya, burdened by his failure, becomes Kaiya's silent guardian, driven by the belief that while he couldn't save her brother, he can still save Kaiya from the games, but mostly from herself.
