𝐌𝐈𝐙𝐔𝐊𝐈 𝐘𝐀𝐑𝐀 is a twenty-year-old bursting with energy, a chatterbox who can talk her way through anything. Or so she thought. One ordinary morning, she wakes up to find her roommates gone, the streets empty, and the entire world eerily silent. As she searches for life, confusion turns to dread-until a mysterious white screen appears, declaring the start of a "game." With no one else around and nothing left to lose, Yara follows a strange red signal in the sky, unknowingly stepping into her first challenge in the Borderlands... where survival means playing by the rules of someone-or something-else.

𝐋𝐈𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋 Between one heartbeat and the next, there exists a space: liminal, fragile, infinite. It's the line between what was and what could be, between memory and oblivion, life and whatever echoes after it. 𝑴𝑰𝒁𝑼𝑵𝑶 𝑹𝑬𝑰𝑵𝑨, a young rehabilitation psychologist with a fractured past, wakes to find herself in a world where rules have no meaning, only survival does. She doesn't remember how she arrived, or the life she left behind. All she knows is that every choice is a gamble, and every loss takes more than blood. 𝑺𝑯𝑼𝑵𝑻𝑨𝑹Ō 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑺𝑯𝑰𝒀𝑨, a prodigy of the mind and a man built from silence, moves through that same world with surgical precision. Logic is his weapon, detachment his shield. But when paths collide, something within that liminal space, between fear and curiosity, intellect and instinct, begins to shift. In the stillness between chaos and truth, Liminal tells the story of two people standing on the edge of reason, where love and survival can no longer be told apart.

❝I know you, don't I?❞ ❝Know is a strong word.❞ Kimura Mika grew up starved of parental love, clinging to fleeting connections that left her lonelier each time. Transported to the Borderlands on her way home, she soon encounters a familiar face from high school- only now, he's nothing like the boy she remembers. Cold, distant, and unrecognizable, he's a harsh reminder that in this world, even the past isn't safe.

One excels in diamonds while the other in hearts. Let's see which is truly smarter in the end or if they both drive each other to the end.

♤♧♢♡ The sky, which had been bathed in a soft red, had to be an indication that this was a real world, after all there was a sun and a moon, as well as stars. Was I still on Earth then? Or were there other planets that had the same orbit? What should I do now? Should I wait for something to happen? Would that eventually wake me up? Or should I keep moving to find an answer? Questions upon questions, but no answers. A lump formed in my throat, and I had to swallow it. The sour aftertaste remained. The nausea had been with me all afternoon and didn't seem to let go of me even now, even though I had already eaten and drunk something. I turned away from the window and stared at the photo wall that Mom had put up for us on my fourteenth birthday. It was filled with memories of everything I never wanted to forget. I wanted more photos to be added, after all, my story was far from over. But would I ever go back to fulfill that wish? Now, I didn't believe such a reunion would happen. ♤♧♢♡ Based on the Alice in Borderland series by Netflix and the manga series by Haro Aso. This is a slow burn fanfiction.
