╰┈➤ 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀 believed life was useless. A quiet stretch of time until inevitable death. People moved, spoke, suffered... and it all blurred together into something insignificant. That is, until he meets 𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐔. A man who mirrors him in unsettling ways. Someone who sees too much, thinks too deeply, carries loneliness in the same silent corners. For a moment, it almost feels like looking into himself. Yet Arisu is different. Where Chishiya sees emptiness, Arisu searches for purpose. Where Chishiya stands in shadow, Arisu reaches stubbornly toward the light. Two sides of the same coin.. one dulled and worn, the other still catching the sun. And for the first time, Chishiya wonders... What happens when someone truly sees him? Not just his indifference, but also the person beneath it. Could being understood change anything? Could Arisu's presence carve meaning into a life Chishiya had already written off? Or would it only illuminate the truth he's always believed. That some people are too far gone, too hollow, too unfixable... and that even light, when it reaches him, simply disappears.

╰┈➤ 𝐘𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐈.. sometimes imagined a different childhood. One with gentle hands brushing her hair, kind voices asking how her day was, someone sitting beside her during storms. 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.

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.

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.

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. Now, stripped of privilege and trapped in a new world, Rin and Chishiya must face the one thing they never prepared for: Each other.

𝐊𝐀𝐓𝐘𝐀 YASASHĪ -----» has been burdened with survival her entire life. Being constantly surrounded by crime and violence meant she had to be cautious. Not a single hair could cross a line, otherwise she'd be killed. She learnt to read people on a whole other level. She knew what people wanted before they even wanted it. She could practically hear every emotion going through a persons head, her only problem was that she could feel every emotion too. 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀 SHUNTARŌ -----»is the opposite. Emotions are a foreign concept. Selflessness is a weakness. The only way to stay ahead was to make sure that other people were behind. So, he ensured that he was in front by using others to protect himself. He didn't care who got hurt. Self-preservation is his key to survival. Now that they are stuck in the borderlands together, Katya has to survive with him and face the darkest moments in her life. And Chishiya has to watch as Katya does the thing he is incapable of doing. Care.

A congenital heart surgeon at Sakurazaka University Hospital, she specialized in the anomalies of the heart-not emotional ones, but physical. Correcting heart defects in newborns and children was her domain. Her hands, small and steady, carried the weight of fragile lives daily. 𝐃𝐑. 𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑Ō 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀, however, was an entirely different story. 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.
