Most people live under the illusion of control. They think they make choices, shape their futures, decide their own fates.But the truth?
They're nothing more than PUPPETS
Hikaru Mori has always seen the strings.He's always known how easy it is to pull them, to make people dance to a rhythm they don't even realize exists.Friendship, love, trust these things mean nothing to him.They are merely tools, weapons to be used.
To the world, he is perfect. Charismatic, intelligent, effortlessly likable. Teachers admire him. Classmates confide in him. They don't see the predator lurking beneath the surface, the mind that calculates every move before they even know they're making one.
Renji Takahashi never saw it coming
The golden boy of Ravenwood High beloved, admired, respected.But Hikaru saw what others didn't.The desperate need for validation. The cracks in his confidence.A well-placed whisper here, a carefully timed betrayal there, and suddenly, Renji was spiraling.
And then he was gone
Transferred, they said.No one asked questions.No one wondered.The world moved on, and Hikaru sat back, savoring another flawless victory.
Until he found the note
"You think you're the only one?"
Six words
For the first time, someone had seen him,someone knew what he was.And, perhaps, someone else was playing the game
Hikaru didn't feel fear
He felt exhilaration
