May the storm carve a bloody path to a blossoming plain.
May the darkest fork lead to a euphonic white dawn.
May the oath whisper the lost island back to the ocean.
May the cavalry ride toward a vastness like a deity.
And thus, boy met boy.
Story
In the Ormos-Topos Union, the Human Alliance has built a surveillance state on the bones of the old world. Citizens are sorted into levels, productivity is law, and public executions of Halves -- beings carrying mammal features -- have become entertainment.
Hara thought he could survive in the shadows. A level-5 human expelled from university, running illegal deliveries through underground ruins, hiding his forbidden desires behind encrypted terminals. One night, a dying TigerHalve crashes through his door -- Akatora, the Alliance's most wanted terrorist, whose crimson eyes promise either salvation or destruction.
What begins as a dangerous encounter spirals into something neither can control. As Hara is pulled into the resistance's underground war, he discovers that in a world where love itself is criminalized, the most radical act might be allowing himself to feel.
But some boundaries, once crossed, can never be restored...
