𝕶𝖊𝖎𝖐𝖔 𝕮𝖍𝖎𝖘𝖆𝖒𝖊 grew up being the responsible eldest daughter in a family torn apart by madness. And being the eldest child means being the third parent and the responsible one for the problems. For many years, she survived all her problems on her own without anyone's help, taking odd jobs that didn't last long, and pushing away anyone who tried to get close to her-well except for a friend named Aina Natsumi, her loud and talkative friend that she once met in the bar. Then there was him-𝕾𝖍𝖚𝖓𝖙𝖆𝖗𝖔 𝕮𝖍𝖎𝖘𝖍𝖎𝖞𝖆-quiet and detached. His sharp eyes never miss anything, and has a habit of observing anything from afar. He prioritizes logic above anything else, thinking and analyzing before acting it out. And for him, emotions are distractions and a weakness, manipulation and logic is a weapon for survival. When two souls that are too similar meet at the empty version of Tokyo get forced to play games for their own survival, would they survive a world where hesitation gets you killed?

𝘼𝙞𝙣𝙖 𝙉𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙪𝙠𝙞 was loud and always filled with energy, some may find her annoying, some might think she's stupid. But behind her energetic exterior is a woman who craved affection she never got as a child. 𝙎𝙪𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙪 𝙉𝙞𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙞 is wreckless, loud, and rough in the outside. But behind all his violence are bruises from his past that never healed, a voice never heard, a child who was hurt because of being weak.

𝐒𝐔𝐙𝐔𝐊𝐈 𝐓𝐒𝐔𝐊𝐈𝐊𝐎 has always been seen as a ghost, destined to remain invisible within her own life. As a child, she lost her parents in a fatal accident-or at least, that is what she was always told. In the orphanage, a place where emotions and feelings were considered a flaw, she grew attached to the most logical and detached discipline possible: neurology. Years of study rewarded her with a position at Tokyo University Hospital, where she meets a prodigious cardiovascular surgeon. 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀 𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎 raised in a house where the only sign of life was the steady ticking of a clock, learned at a young age that if he needed something, he had to obtain it on his own, without relying on anyone. Feelings-especially love-were distractions meant to disrupt thought and brain chemistry, turning everything into chaos. And chaos, in an operating room, was not allowed. Two souls so alike in their obsessive logic meet in a darker, emptier version of Tokyo, where they are forced to take part in deadly games to earn just one more day of life. Will two people so opposite, yet so painfully similar, manage to survive in a place where a single second of hesitation can cost everything? ────୨ৎ────

Maybe, if she'd grown up like that, she wouldn't be so cold now. Maybe her tears wouldn't be silent and swallowed. Maybe she wouldn't hold her hand over her mouth when she cried, afraid of the sound.
