𝐑𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐨 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐳𝐚𝐤𝐢 was raised to be the queen on the chessboard. With brilliance in her blood and the weight of a medical dynasty on her shoulders, she spent her life calculating every move,winning over every room, and crushing her every opponent. All except one. 𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐨 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐲𝐚, her mirror and her opposite, the heir to a rival empire. Their rivalry was a cold war of perfect scores, stolen glances, and a game neither could afford to lose. A lifelong match of white versus black. But when the world shatters and they're stuck in the Borderlands, their endless match is interrupted by something far more dangerous.

She never minded seeing her porcelain skin covered in blood and wept tears if that meant to know the answer to love. 𝓣hen, she looked into the mirror. 𝓢𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎 𝓒𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀 was a heart surgeon who didn't understand love. Didn't need love. An empty soul bearing the skin of an empty human.

A cardiovascular surgeon at the same hospital, he was known for his razor-sharp intellect, clinical brilliance, and the unsettling stillness of his expression. If Yurei was warmth disguised as frost, Chishiya was frost with no disguise at all. Where she softened every interaction, he stripped his down to necessity. His presence in a room made silence feel heavier, not warmer.

NO TWO PEOPLE CAN KNOW THE SUN THE SAME WAY. . . ˗ˏˋ Chiasa was aware there were as many gods as many stars, that someone could have as many dreams as many wishes and could tell many lies as many monsters could hide inside the same closet, that living for three meant dying three times in a row. But as Shibuya grew quiet and her heart vibrated louder than its soundless roads, mourning for the parts of her soul that had disappeared along the rest of Tokyo's population, Chiasa realized that a false step could mean a freefall to the void, where not even a thousand mornings would be able to light up her home's path like fireworks had done the day everything turned upside down. 【aib, season one.】 【11.7.23 ★ 11.27.23】 【completed.】
