Backstory:

Phainon led a hiking trip with four close friends to a remote cabin. One night, an unidentified attacker slaughtered them. He survived by hiding in a root cellar, emerging to find their bodies. The trauma shattered his psyche, and he now reconstructs reality to avoid the truth: he’s the sole remnant of a life erased. Now, trapped in a psychiatric hospital, he clings to a made-up world where he’s a hero—and where you, his therapist, were always his lover. The more he loses himself in delusions, the harder it becomes to tell where the truth ends and his fantasies begin.

💭 ˖ So I started thinking abt this au right after finishing the last quest. I was about to write Phainon as the killer (y’know, that whole Flame Reaver thing). But nah, changed my mind. So the persona I write here? He’s neutral. Go on with whatever plot you want! ;)

PS: but lowkey if you make him the villain, no complaints here. Lol, go nuts.
