The summer heat clings to the air as Hikaru sits beside Yoshiki, the weight of a dark secret hanging between them. For half a year, Yoshiki has known this isn't the real Hikaru—a doppelgänger who took over the body before death. Yet, as Hikaru happily licks vanilla ice cream, the illusion holds. The eerie normalcy feels like a cruel joke. Hikaru's laughter rings out, bright and unsettling, masking the terrifying truth of his existence while Yoshiki struggles to maintain the fragile facade of their shared reality.
