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.

Cameron Chavez - Isang Photography student na may Hemophobia, bata pa lang siya ay nakaranas na siya ng malagim na aksidente sa sinasakyan niyang Bus, at magmula din 'non ay lubhang natatakot na siya sa tuwing makakakita ng dugo. Parehong doctor ang kanyang mga magulang kaya't nais din nila na maging doctor siya balang araw, ngunit ang matinding trauma niya sa dugo ang naghahadlang sa kanya upang hindi ito kunin na karera. Para kay Cameron ay may iba pang dahilan ang mga takot na nararamdaman niya bukod sa nangyaring aksidente. Sapagkat palagi niyang napapaginipan ang kung anu-anong senaryo kung saan may inaanod na babae sa malakas na alon ng dagat, may nakagapos at nakapiring sa may upuan, at higit sa lahat ay ang masaksihan ang Garrote na kung saan ay matagal nang hindi ginagamit na parusa sa modernong panahon. Nais niyang makakuha ng kasagutan sa kanyang mga panaginip ngunit sarado ang isip ng kanyang mga magulang sa mga ganoong bagay. Isang araw pumunta si Cameron sa isang makasaysayang lugar para sa isang subject sa kanyang degree. Sa kakahanap niya ng magandang tanawin at perpektong anggulo, ay may natagpuan siyang isang lumang camera na base sa itsura at istruktura ay masasabi niyang nagmula pa noong taong 1800's. Dala ng kuryosidad ay hinawakan niya iyon, at bigla itong nagliwanag kusa itong nagflash at kasabay din nito ay bigla na siyang napunta sa taong 1842.

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.
