Mu knows Sigma as an admirable fair, distant, and polite man who resolves the case of her eventful late class admission on her first day in Owlfield High. But through a series of unexpected meetings, sincere kind gestures, and her untamable curiosity, she found herself seeking a place in Sigma's heart. For Sigma, Mu's presence came in like a warm hug. A quiet piercing warm light that naturally discovers every crack of his heart. Not to remind him of its pain, but to offer comfort when he remembers its existence. Something he thought he didn't need, but then ends up seeking it. So he carefully learned to narrow his distance to Mu, before he even realized. However, reality hits them- he is the Prefect of Discipline and Mu is his student in Pre-Calculus. Like an Indeterminate function, the value of pursuing the next point of their story could be something or nothing, and to find out, they need to choose to either break through or give into the imaginary lines of limits defined by school rules- rules set for Mu to follow, and Sigma to uphold.

In the quiet town of Paradise, Lyra has spent her life hiding in plain sight-haunted by dreams that feel like memories, chased by whispers no one else can hear. She tells herself she's ordinary... until the day a stranger walks into her café and everything tilts. Alastor Morningstar is no ordinary man. Son of Lucifer. Heir to the Shadow Realm. Executioner of angels. A creature who vowed never to love-and has never once broken a vow. Until Lyra. Because Lyra isn't merely a girl with gentle smiles and soft laughter. She is the Hollow-born-an omen Heaven wants erased and Hell wants claimed. Angels hunt her. Demons circle her. And in the corners of her dreams, something ancient watches, waiting for her to remember its name. As the realms slide toward war, Alastor is torn between desire and duty, loyalty and damnation. And Lyra must face what she is becoming-power forged of ash and flame, destined either to restore balance... or end creation. Love can be salvation. Love can be ruin. And in a world where vows demand blood, devotion becomes a weapon. Heaven says destroy her. Hell says bind her. He says-mine.
