Ezra can only breathe at night, away from prying eyes and forced kindness. The teenage boy is silently drowning, while filling his stomach with anger and helplessness. He wasn't always like this, but he left his once beautifully tender and joyful heart at his childhood home; far, far away; unable to be reached again. Now he has found himself making an unusual, silent agreement with a strange boy from his school. They spend most midnights together in a never-ending spiral of pushed down feeling, unspoken words and repressed memories. Will the teenager find comfort in each other or will their pain swallow them and pull them deeper into the abyss, until there is no way out?

I opened my eyes and found myself in the body of Seraphina D'Artoisthe infamous villainess of Rose of Evermere. Her fate? Disgrace. Betrayal. Death. My plan? Forget love, get rich, survive. On the outside, I'll play the perfect noble lady on the inside? I swearing at naïve boys, side eyeing my parents and praying I don't trigger a single death flag before eighteen But the story starts to twist... I can't help but wonder why the hell is everything happening four years early?

Welcome to the anime. Please mind the curse. Okay. So. You know those stories where someone wakes up inside their favourite anime and becomes the chosen one? Yeah, this isn't that. Too bad. Feel free to click off. I woke up in my favorite anime - the one with the orphaned heir, the vampire butler, and enough dramatic monologues to power a small kingdom - but I'm not a hero. I'm not a villain. I'm not even supposed to exist. There's no "Wendy Crowe" in the cast list-I checked. No tragic backstory. No plot armour. Well, except the kind where I can't seem to die. More on that later. Now I'm pretending to be a fortune teller, living rent-free in a gothic mansion, third-wheeling an emotionally constipated protagonist and his smug undead manservant, and maybe - accidentally - breaking the entire storyline. Whoops. The good news? I can say whatever I want. Do whatever I want. The bad news? The more I mess with fate, the more fate starts noticing me. And if I'm not part of the story... What happens when the story decides it doesn't want me?
