Minatiro didn't want this.
Once a normal human, Minatiro's life was shattered when he was forced to become a half-ghoul at the age of five. After surviving the brutal transformation, he lived in the shadows, an outcast between two worlds: the world of humans he could no longer belong to, and the world of ghouls who saw him as weak. Years later, his existence became a delicate balancing act, one fraught with pain, hunger, and a desperate search for a sense of identity.
When he first encountered Eto, the enigmatic leader of Aogiri Tree, his world was further upended. She saw potential in him, offering him a place in Aogiri's ranks. But with that came a dilemma. He was torn between two conflicting paths: Should he support Aogiri Tree and tear down Anteiku-the one place where he once found a glimmer of hope and camaraderie? Or should he protect Anteiku, and in doing so, work indirectly with the CCG, the very organization he despised? The choice wasn't simple, and the weight of the decision gnawed at him.
As Minatiro navigates this dangerous tightrope, forces beyond his control begin to sabotage both sides. Factions within the CCG try to manipulate the ghouls, while rogue ghouls infiltrate Aogiri, making it harder to know who to trust. Betrayal and hidden agendas weave a complex web, and every move Minatiro makes seems to push him deeper into a game he never agreed to play..
In this world of shifting allegiances, hidden motives, and unspoken truths, Minatiro must decide if he's willing to fight for a future, even if it means sacrificing everything he's ever known.
