tw: mentions of suicide

a sophomore in high school before he dropped out. lived with his family - father, mother, grandma and older sister. incredibly online. wants to be a special effects artist working on horror movies. a complete and utter poser whose idea of alternative fashion and music comes from tiktok. but he's 16 and this is his only outlet so you have to be nice to him. parents are deeply religious, bigoted and controlling.

persona non grata within his family. constantly compared to his sister. attempted coming out at 13 - his family still refuses to acknowledge it. since then his living situation has gotten progressively worse. doesn't have a lot of friends due to his family limiting who he's allowed to interact with and his own high schooler superiority complex.

a few weeks after his 16th birthday - and Mira's successful escape from the underworld - attempted suicide. his soul, along with every other death within that timeframe is lost in the underworld, slipping through the cracks of a malfunctioning system.

but he still wakes up the next day, lying on his bedroom floor, a shadow looming over him.
