Ynez Alvares, wide-eyed and spirited, started off as an intern under Xeno Klein, a brilliant scientist labelled a madman. A moment of understanding leads to an undeniably deep connection, but Ynez only realizes how deep their connection truly is when tragedy struck, leading to their separation. Overwhelmed by this tragedy, Ynez fogs his own vision with rainclouds. And by some means, he finds himself in an alternate reality, where the tragedy had a more desirable resolve - the presence of his dearest friend Xeno Klein. A moral dilemma overtakes Ynez as he's torn between staying in this alternate reality or returning to his own. Because something is wrong with this alternate reality, but is that worth looking past if it means Xeno is by his side?

cw: violence, descriptions of body horror/gore, course language and sex. this story takes place after my other story "My Dying Star" but can be read as a standalone. i mainly wrote it because i liked the whole dead wife thing in silent hill :)
