The Skin We Shed

In New Inado City, relationships don’t just leave scars—they take flesh.

Every severed connection comes at a cost, measured in skin, carved away by the silent precision of the Slycers. Love, friendship, betrayal—nothing ends without a price. And for those who give too much, there’s no coming back.

She always knew the rules: keep it casual, keep it shallow, and never let anyone in deep enough to take more than they should. But standing in Wesley’s doorway—shirtless, vulnerable, already half-erased from her life—they both know what’s coming. One final cut, one final loss, and another piece of themselves gone forever.

Through it all, she can’t shake the feeling that they’ve lost more than just skin.

Maybe it was never about keeping the peace.

Maybe it was always about keeping them bleeding.

And maybe, when the final pieces are stripped away, what’s left won’t be human at all.
