𝗫𝗜𝗡𝗬𝗨 𝗞𝗢 - A porcelain-faced psychologist with glassy eyes and a smile that never reaches them. Once a hopeful child, she was molded by controlling hands into a fragile ornament, learning that affection is performance and perfection is survival. Now, she studies hearts not to heal, but to break. Her own colder than emptiness, knowing only how to mimic love. Nicknamed "𝘄á𝘄á" or "doll" for her painted grace. 𝗘𝗡𝗝𝗜 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗦𝗨𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗧𝗔 - A soft-spoken, enigmatic hypnotherapist, master of control and subtle manipulation. Observant and calculating, he bends minds with quiet precision, treating trust as a gamble and distance as safety. Known as the "𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀," he never truly plays, yet never loses, finding beauty in suggestion and peace in obedience. Together, they are two sides of the same coin. A psychologist and a hypnotherapist: one understands 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 only to break them, while the other bends 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀 until they forget. Both met before the Borderlands, yet only one bothers to remember. Now, in a world caught between life and death, Enji Matsushita waits for Xinyu Ko, his 𝗢𝗡𝗟𝗬 𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘.
