"If you want to hide a real monster, you don't lock him in a cage. You put him on a stage surrounded by actors pretending to be beasts."To escape the suffocating grayness of suburban high school life, seven social outcasts form "The Pantheon"-a private, highly elaborate roleplay group where each member adopts a persona based on one of the Seven Deadly Sins.Led by Pride, the brilliant student council vice president who runs the group like a clockwork dictatorship, they think it's just a game. They believe that when the bell rings, they put their imaginary velvet cloaks away and become ordinary children again. They think they are all playing their parts.Except for Sloth.To the others, Sloth is just a sleepy, fifteen-year-old prodigy who skipped a grade but lacks the energy to tie his own shoes. He is the quiet background character dragged along as an academic alibi. But behind his half-lidded, vacant eyes lies a terrifyingly brilliant mind that doesn't sleep. While the Pantheon plays at being monsters, Sloth is actually doing the work-orchestrating a calculated, meticulous trail of violence completely hidden behind the theatrical drama of his friends.Written across seven distinct parts from the perspective of each Sin, the grand illusion begins to shatter when Pride stumbles into the dark biology lab after hours. A gun is fired. A death is faked. And the curtain rises on a psychological horror game where every single line has already been written by the laziest boy in the room.
