Idiosyncratic

"Sometimes we grow so accustomed to normality that we punish anything that seems remotely aberrant to those of us who only know how to deal with a scheduled reality. It makes us realise that this is why we have never truly accepted those whom are special to our Earth: we're terrified of creatures that bring change with their presence."

In the rainy, quiet state of Oregon, we find the story of a 17 year old boy named Ichiru Engel. He has nothing and only sees himself as an undeserving creature that doesn't have the right to even so much as look those -- who bothered to look at him -- in the eyes. He's just a boy decorated in baggy sweaters, scars, bruises, and secrets hidden by patches. Ichiru is just a boy that wanted nothing more than to omit the taste of his own uselessness from his brain.

Ichiru is just a boy that will change everything for another person named Klevi Ogamie, the boy that triggered the change even with his own nightmarish memories of his murdered younger brother and father.

Here, we find the beginning to an old life colliding with another's to create two new people. Here, we learn that even the most beautiful of flowers can die with the most inevitable, and dreaded, stroke of tragedy.
Here, we accept that even the prettiest and purest of people are tortured by those they love.
