Aiding in the creation of the paradise known as The Beach, she watches at it destroys those she cares most about until all that is left is flames and nobody's hands are left unbloodied. * BOOK 1 of the 𝐁𝐋𝐔𝐄 series [ covers season 1 ]. ⁓⁓⁓⁓⁓ #1 in niragisuguru (14 March, 2025)🥇 #1 in aliceinborderland (10 May, 2025)🥇 #1 in aib (11 May, 2025)🥇 #1 in aguni (15 May, 2025)🥇 #1 in jdrama (27 May, 2025)🥇 #1 in niragi (24 June, 2025)🥇 #1 in canonxoc (25 September, 2025)🥇 #1 in niragixoc (26 November, 2025)🥇 ⁓⁓⁓⁓⁓ Completed wordcount*: 220,033 words!!

𝐘𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢 𝐊𝐚𝐭𝐲𝐚 wasn't surrounded by the best people growing up. She was raised around the world of drugs, crime and violence. But growing up in that environment meant she had to be careful. One wrong move could've gotten her killed. So, she developed the ability to read people. She knew what people wanted, before they even wanted it. She understood people even when they didn't understand themselves. This ability got her so far and now she has to use it to survive in the borderlands. She just hopes that her emotions won't get in her way. 𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐨 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐲𝐚 didn't care about anything. But there was always one thing that stuck in his mind. He always distanced himself from everything and everyone. He knew he was selfish. He always performed out of self preservation. He couldn't understand why anyone would want to save him, and yet she did. 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.
