NotHaise
You were only eight when the world turned against you, the warmth of family replaced by the cruel hands of a father who saw you as nothing more than a burden. Pain became your only companion, and the hope of escape was a distant dream. With your mother gone and no one to turn to, you were left to endure-until the day everything changed.
At sixteen, your nightmare ended, but the scars remained. That was the day you met Edogawa Ranpo-a detective as sharp as his mind, yet unexpectedly kind. Wrapped in his coat and met with his awkward attempts at comfort, you found something unfamiliar... safety.
But escaping the past is never easy. Shadows of old wounds linger, and the road to healing is paved with uncertainty. Can you rebuild the pieces of your shattered life? And will Ranpo be the one to help you find where you truly belong?
A story of survival, healing, and the unlikely bond between two souls who understand loneliness all too well.
