    Summary

    “It’s not- I don’t like boys like that. I don’t…” His breath hitched, a ragged sob itching his throat with the sins he knew he could never atone for. A painful reminder of the things he believed were unforgivable. “I can’t.”

    The boy across from him sat panting, his frustration palpable. Yet, a disturbing absence of the one thing Shoto expected to see: shame.

    “What the hell are you so afraid of?”

    The answer was simple. Exactly that. Hell.

     
    Shoto’s life had been a performance. A careful adherence to an impossible ideal, being the number one hero’s perfect prodigy. With that expectation and his incontestable traditional upbringing, he learns to suppress anything that society may not accept. As what was previously repressed makes itself unwilling to be ignored, he finds himself in a cage of mirrors. Coming face to face with the imperfections that make him not as exemplary as everyone thought.
