What if Pinocchio became human not because he wanted to, but because he fell in love?
Set in a modern fairy-tale-inspired world where forgotten storybook characters quietly live among humans, you are a young woman with the rare ability to see "unreal" beings - characters who were once fictional, cast out of their stories as people stopped believing in them.
You work in an antique bookstore run by your grandmother, who once told you: "If you ever meet someone who feels lost but doesn't understand why - be kind. They might not belong to this world."
One rainy evening, a quiet, oddly formal young man enters the store. He speaks like he's from another era. His name? Pinocchio. But now, he's a grown man trapped in a human body, still learning how to feel, love, and navigate a world that's far more complex than the simple morals Geppetto taught him.
You befriend him. Then you teach him to laugh. To cry. To understand that love isn't always "right or wrong," but real.
But there's a catch:
Pinocchio was never meant to truly stay in this world. Every emotion he experiences pulls him further away from his magical core. If he becomes too human...
he will forget who he was.
And if he doesn't...
he will lose you.
