Ender_Tales
Aikou Kichi is the kind of person who always smiles.
The kind who laughs with friends. The kind who says "I'm fine" even when he clearly isn't. The kind people slowly grow worried about without understanding why.
But guilt changes people.
And sometimes, the past refuses to stay buried.
Between school festivals, late-night conversations, arguments, laughter, amusement parks, and the quiet moments in between, Aikou and his friends slowly begin drifting into a complicated web of emotions they no longer understand.
Love starts feeling selfish. Friendship starts feeling possessive. And comfort slowly turns into dependency.
As hidden scars rise to the surface, the bonds between the group begin to crack one by one. Yet behind all of it lurks a strange figure known only as The Fool - a smiling man whose brief appearance leaves behind fear, trauma, and questions nobody can answer.
Because some people destroy lives without ever touching them.
And as Aikou struggles between the person he pretends to be and the person he truly is, one terrifying question remains:
If everyone wears a mask... what happens when the mask becomes the face?
A psychological drama filled with mystery, symbolism, emotional conflict, fractured friendships, hidden trauma, and the quiet horrors of being human.
A/N: If you are worried about the hook I'd suggest read chapter 1 and 2 then judge.
I will publish a new part/chapter every Thursday(or so I'll try 😭)
