Behind The Mask (A Bini AU)

By day, they are just eight ordinary university students trying to survive classes, deadlines, friendships, and the uncertainty of young adulthood at "Asteria University".

By night, they become "The Veil"-an anonymous organization of masked vigilantes sworn to protect "Veridian City" from the growing influence of "Obsidian", a powerful syndicate that believes fear and control are the only paths to peace.

Chosen not for their strength, but for the selfless choices they made when no one was watching, each receives a mysterious black box containing an animal-inspired half mask and a single invitation:

"If justice called your name... would you answer?"

Bound by strict rules, they must never reveal their identities-not even to one another. Behind their masks, they fight side by side as strangers who slowly become family. Beyond the masks, they unknowingly cross paths as classmates, rivals, acquaintances, and friends, never realizing the person they trust most at night may be standing beside them in daylight.

As Obsidian closes in and the line between their ordinary lives and secret missions begins to blur, every decision carries a cost.

Because some secrets protect lives.

Others protect hearts.

And when the masks finally come off, the truth will change all of them forever.
