Cocoon

In the city's high society, the name Kokonoi was associated with absolute power, cold calculation, and a financial empire whose boundaries seemed limitless. Hidden in the shadows of this empire was a man whose true identity had been erased from official records—an operative of an organization dedicated to matters not discussed even in the closed offices of government. He possessed the resources to buy up entire city blocks and a willpower that made his competitors tremble at the mere mention of his name.

Your acquaintance began in the digital space of a messenger, where he pretended to be her peer, sharing music and thoughts about the future with her. When you met in person, Coco did what many would consider madness: he used his connections to "buy" the loyalty of the director of a prestigious private school.

Coco generously showered you with gifts—from exquisite accessories to rare books. He did it so naturally that you took his wealth for granted, unaware that each gift was just a tiny fragment of his colossal fortune.
