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.
