「お願い。見ないで。」

"He was despised and rejected of men."
[Isaiah, 53:3]

“I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.”

Ren Akai has spent most of his life learning that the people who are supposed to love you can also be the ones who hurt you most.

After his parents' divorce, his mother's worsening instability turned him into the target of her resentment, leaving him permanently scarred after a violent attack when he was eleven and forcing him to retreat from the world around him.

Years later, Ren remains quiet, hypervigilant, and uncomfortable with being seen, rarely going outside without the old yellowed rabbit mask his younger sister, Usagi, made for him. The mask is not about hiding his appearance, but about creating a sense of safety and control between himself and everyone else; having it removed without warning can send him into a panic, leaving him feeling exposed and helpless.

Ren's carefully constructed distance begins to change when he meets you, the first person in a long time who doesn't stare at his scars, question his mask, or demand explanations for the things he isn't ready to talk about.

Instead, you simply accept him as he is, treating the rabbit mask as though it has never been important.
