Hikaru is a kind and intelligent 15-year-old who loves playing piano and volleyball.
At least, that's what he wants everyone to believe.
The truth?
It's all a lie.
Behind the smile, Hikaru is hiding something.
Something so big, so painful, that it created an alter ego: a vigilante named Caesar.
Caesar exists to protect Hikaru from the truth - the one buried deep in his past.
But protection comes at a cost.
And if it means destroying Hikaru to keep him safe... so be it.
A gripping story of trauma, identity, and survival - told through a mix of dark humor, horror, unforgettable characters, and shocking twists.
A story meant to show what social hypervigilance is and how it can affect not only the victim but everyone around.

Hollow
I fall to the floor, but with enough concentration I manage to stand. "Why are you doing this?" I hiss, struggling to keep my balance. "Most people think the most important piece on the chess board is the king, or the queen or the rook; some even think it's the bishop." "You killed him, didn't you?" "I like to think it's the pawn."

He asks with barely restrained fury, his eyes holding mine captive, making it clear that I'm supposed to give him an answer. "I guess we're gonna have a problem."Complete
