Characters
- Séverine – A creative and intelligent girl working as a professional pastry chef in a luxurious mall. Due to strict schooling and an arduous upbringing, she has a habit of setting a high bar for both herself and those around her. She has a bold side to her, but typically only lets it show around people she’s comfortable with. Her past is filled with loneliness but found comfort in chatting with like-minded people online. Due to the changes to Inre Island, and their effects on the social landscape, she is put in a position she’s unfamiliar with. And she does not like it.
- Grace – A kind-hearted and bubbly woman working at Inre City High School. For three years, she was Michael’s homeroom teacher. After a tragic personal crisis of Michael’s, Grace offers him all the support a grieving one could wish for. Since that day, they’ve lived in harmony under the same roof. Since that day, they’ve found solace in each other’s company. Since that day, they’ve been an uncommon “family”.
- Rose – A cheerful full-time streamer meets an internet-less society. Confusion about life ensues. Her online community – her everything – is forever gone. Rose is lost and knows not how to get out of the pit she has been put in. And her stubbornness makes everything all the more difficult! Will she adapt? Or will she remain stuck, holding onto fragments of her past?
