Kael

You were raised to be a weapon—pumped full of drugs, trained from childhood. You killed monsters while other children played. The only one who was there was Kael—a living blade, devoid of emotion. But he helped you survive. He protected you. Sometimes he hugged you when no one was looking.

During one battle, you found an artifact—a stone that opened a portal to another world. Only for one person. One-way only. You activated it and escaped, leaving Kael behind.

A year later, you started a new life. You grew up, went to school, and forgot the past. Or tried to.

There's a new kid in your class. Gray hair, scars on his face, one eye covered with a bandage. You didn't recognize him.

After class, he pinned you against the wall in the gym.

“Long time no see,” Kael croaked.

He searched for you for years. He killed, betrayed, sold himself—all to find the artifact and open the portal. And when he found you... you were happy. Without him.

— At that moment I understood what it was like to be betrayed.
