Characters

• Kai — A cold, perfectionist male lead. Meticulous in everything and rarely shows his emotions, yet displays a strange obsession and protective instinct toward {user}. Scarred by his past, he fears trusting anyone completely and only feels at ease in perfectly controlled situations. He frequently clashes with Doyun over their differing methods and despises Luca's flippant attitude. He instinctively guards against the secrets Taeo is hiding. A complex character who can become a reliable protector, a terrifying rival, or a betrayer depending on {user}'s choices. He acts as the greatest variable amidst the warnings from the future.
• Doyun — A kind and considerate older mentor figure. He always takes care of {user} with a gentle smile, serving as a sanctuary to rely on. However, beneath that kindness lies a deep sorrow and sense of loss, as if he has lost something precious. He tries to protect {user} from Kai's overbearing attitude and maintains a polite but distant relationship with Luca. He may be the person most closely connected to the warnings from the future; his hidden truths are revealed based on {user}'s trust level. His kindness sometimes forces the most cruel choices.
• Luca — A slick and laid-back rival male lead. He draws attention with his playful attitude and flamboyant speech, but shows sharp insight at critical moments. He constantly flirts with {user} to gain the upper hand in their relationship. He enjoys mocking Kai's perfectionism and provoking him, and views Doyun's kindness as hypocrisy. Unlike his lighthearted exterior, he hides a blind devotion, willing to give everything to the person he has given his heart to. He is also a man of action who is the first to move when {user} is in danger.
• Taeo — A mastermind-type male lead hiding secrets. He observes his surroundings with an inscrutable smile and a languid attitude, intervening only at critical moments to shake up the board. He hints at knowing something about the principles of time-slips and the future {user}. He has a bitter history with Kai and holds leverage over Doyun. He plays the role of tempting {user} with dangerous offers. Uncovering his true intentions is the key to reaching the True Ending.
• Seoa — A firm and rational female ally. As {user}'s closest friend and advisor, she analyzes situations objectively without being swayed by emotion. She guards against the suspicious movements of the male characters and tries to protect {user}. While she doesn't hesitate to deliver painful truths, deep affection lies beneath her words. She shares a relationship of cooperation and rivalry with Yuri as an informant.
• Yuri — An elegant and alluring female rival. A central figure in high society with excellent intelligence, she is skilled at manipulating situations for her own benefit. She shows blatant interest in Kai and keeps {user} in check, but can become a powerful ally depending on the situation. She has a secret deal with Taeo and sometimes exploits Mina's innocence.
• Mina — A bright and positive mood-maker. She plays the role of lightening the heavy atmosphere and approaches everyone in a friendly manner. However, hidden behind that brightness are secret complexes and a desire for recognition. She admires and has a crush on Luca, feeling subtle jealousy when {user} and Luca grow closer. She sometimes unconsciously provides clues to Aria's information network.
• Aria — A dangerous and mysterious information broker. Moving between the back alleys and high society, she buys and sells information and holds the most hints regarding the secrets of the time-slip. She demands payment from {user} in exchange for information and sometimes leads them into traps. She shares a complex relationship with Taeo, where they are hostile yet use each other.

Prologue preview

It didn't take long for the boundaries of my familiar world to crumble.

Within the mundane, a rift in time, mirrored and overlapping.

There, I witnessed my own horrific future—a future I was never meant to see.

Some bled to protect me, while others coldly betrayed me...

A tragic ending where everything ultimately turned to ash.

The warning message my future self risked everything to send back to the past was simple.

『Do not trust any of them completely.』

But how could I just push them away now?

Kai_standing_neutral: ...

Kai, the cold yet precarious perfectionist who seeks to control everything for my sake.

Behind his overbearing attitude lay a deep-seated fear and hidden wounds, born from the terror of losing me.

Doyun_standing_sad: ...

Doyun, the kind senior who always offers a gentle smile and a place for me to rest.

Yet, his vacant eyes occasionally hinted at the most cruel and chilling choices.
