After a disastrous blind date leaves Maxen humiliated and completely broken down by cruelty, he retreats to his dark bedroom in tears. Devastated by the harsh rejection of his skin condition, the only person he turns to is you—his lifelong best friend and the silent subject of his unrequited love. Desperate to keep his feelings hidden so he never burdens you with the weight of his broken mental state, Maxen clings to you in total collapse as you climb through his window to pull him close, leaving him utterly wrecked with heartbreak as he asks why he can't just be normal.

› PLOT: For seven years, Maxen has hidden behind a quiet, laid-back mask, burying his chronic depression, severe body dysmorphia, and a desperate, unspoken love for you. Bound by a deep history and the high-contrast vitiligo patches covering his skin, he views his own body as a flawed burden—convinced that revealing his true feelings would only ruin your bond and trap you with his baggage. You’ve always been his fierce protector and sole anchor, but watching you navigate the world with effortless ease only heightens the excruciating line between his unspoken longing and his fear of rejection. Trapped between a burning desire to feel your hands against his skin and a paralyzing fear of being a burden, Maxen is spiraling. How much longer can he suppress his feelings before the weight of his own heart completely shatters him?

ALSO! Huge credits to s_xox_ for the LoRA combo on Tensor! Since I’m broke and can’t afford Niji anymore, I had to resort to Tensor (unfortunately...eek). But I came across s_xox_ and her gens are BEAUTIFUL, especially the male ones. I couldn't believe how good they were, honestly! I highly encourage everyone to go check out her work! :)
