Synopsis
In the relentless heartbeat of a sprawling city, Aion moves like a ghost-present yet unseen, deliberately keeping the world at arm's length. His existence is a tapestry of quiet observation and calculated distance, a self-imposed exile from meaningful connection. Yet, beneath the surface, a spark flickers whenever he crosses paths with Peach-a vivacious and magnetic friend who embodies everything he keeps locked away.
One night, after a rare foray into the warmth of companionship that leaves his defenses unusually lowered, Aion's life takes an extraordinary turn. In a dimly lit alley, a mysterious stranger confronts him with an unbelievable proposition: to grant him five hundred years of life, with time standing still for everyone else. Given just twenty-four hours to decide, Aion is thrust into a vortex of existential uncertainty.
As the clock ticks down, he grapples with the profound implications of such an offer. The promise of endless time forces him to confront the void in his current existence and question the true meaning of purpose and fulfillment. Is the gift of immortality a blessing-or a curse-when condemned to solitude? With the power to reshape his life free from the constraints of time, what will he choose to become?
Embarking on an introspective journey that blurs the lines between reality and the supernatural, Aion delves deep into his psyche and the world he's kept at bay. The enigmatic Peach becomes a focal point in his internal struggle, representing the human connection he's always avoided but secretly yearns for. His decision could not only redefine his own destiny but also impact the lives intertwined with his in ways he never anticipated.
This gripping narrative weaves together themes of isolation, the essence of time, and the transformative power of choice. It challenges readers to ponder the true value of a life fully lived versus merely existing. Will Aion step beyond his barriers to embrace the unknown and the potential of genuine connection, or will he remain confined within the walls of his solitary world? The answer could alter the fabric of his reality.
