This dark, broody BL romance explores themes of trauma, escaping cycles of abuse, and facing the parts of ourselves we keep locked away out of shame.
This dark, broody BL romance explores themes of trauma, escaping cycles of abuse, and facing the parts of ourselves we keep locked away out of shame.
As the screams of cicadas pierce the suffocating summer heat...
Nanase finds himself cornered by a strange, sinister animal.
The only thing more depressing than Nanase's new cleaning job is his creepy, dead-eyed coworker, Kurono. And now that Kurono has turned that unnerving stare on Nanase, escape seems impossible.
No matter what violence or vitriol Nanase hurls at him, Kurono refuses to tear his gaze away-and those vacant eyes see right through the jagged cracks in Nanase's bruised and battered heart.
When violence is the veil through which you see the world, vulnerability is the enemy... but in Nanase's case, letting Kurono in may be the only way out. - Content Warnings- Explicit sexual content, violence, sexual assault, stalking, domestic abuse
