Mystery
We follow a nameless protagonist who suffers from a bipolar disorder. Whereas he likes to live a solitary life wherein he can control things to ensure a stable footing that allows him to more easily pave the way of improvement, his mental alter ego is the exact opposite of him. Sometimes there are gaps in time he can't seem to remember until he consults his inner voice to find answers. Yet this half is clinging to his mind, growing like a tumor that gets fed and grows every time it's used. As the protagonist struggles with this compulsive and careless side of him, his friend Abigail Van Houten suffers from a clinical depression. The two of them frequently spend time together because they feel like they can be their true selves without being judged for it, yet the real reason why he spends time with Abigail is because he finds her misery and suffering oddly comforting: there's a sense of numbness that overcomes him when he experiences how much worse his condition could have been. Both the protagonist and Abigail are walking on a ledge that grows thinner and thinner the further they travel alongside it, yet they must depend on each other to keep themselves from falling into the seemingly endless abyss. They're playing with fire, but would you rather burn of freeze to death? That choice is theirs to make.
