Black Elixir

In a world so disturbingly similar to our reality... Things happen that aren't written about in the news. Voices go unheard, voids go unseen, and people disappear from within before they disappear from life. "Ren"... a boy who doesn't remember being hungry. He doesn't know how to pay his rent, or who stocks his fridge. He lives as if someone is living in his place, as if his presence is merely a carefully scripted role. But he doesn't ask. When every detail is arranged with frightening precision... You know there's something moving behind the curtain. Then the nightmares begin. Familiar faces he can't remember, and places he feels he's visited in lives he doesn't own. And that girl... who looks at him like someone awaiting a long-overdue confession. The black antidote... doesn't give you power. It rearranges you from within, piece by piece. It reveals the true you that someone deliberately made you forget. With every moment that Ren draws closer to his original self, the system begins to crack. Memory reveals things that should never have been remembered. Who is Ren, really? Why was his life chosen to be "quiet"? And what lurks within him... waiting for the right moment to awaken? In this world, the truest things... are the ones that cannot be said. And every savior, if you get close enough, you smell an old stench of betrayal.
