Synopsis

“If a blade never kills, is it still a weapon? If a boy was born to die, is he still alive?”

Hiiro walks between shadows and reflections—half in the world, half out.

On a remote island where children are trained to kill with elegance and obedience, he doesn’t belong. But when he sees her again—the girl from his memory with glass eyes and a smile sharp enough to cut—he chooses to fall deeper.

What begins as a mission to burn their world to the ground becomes a dangerous game of lies and reflections. Each trial shatters another mask. Each choice drags him closer to a cracked Wonderland where even his own face might betray him.

A dark psychological fantasy about identity, obedience, and the lies we tell ourselves. Inspired by Alice in Wonderland and the elegant decay of broken myths.
