His elder brother, once a guiding light, plunged a knife into their father's chest, and walked away with a chilling smile.

Imagine a wild fusion of sharp British wit and anime absurdity. This light novel blends wry, quirky humour with a satirical journey through the ever-evolving world of online trends, social media, gaming, and music culture. It’s the kind of book nobody else could have written—and the one I always wished existed. Lillian is like all other girls—every single one of them. She dreams of eBunnee fame on the hottest social media app around. But while wandering through the enchanting #HeartLingForest, she stumbles upon something—or rather, someone—a quirky ghost girl with a flair for the dramatic, and when Lillian asks the ghost to follow her... she literally does. At Estresey Academy, the youth of today are moulded into eBunnee addicts, trained to worship followers as if they're the key to eternal life. In this bizarre world, followers aren’t just important—they’re everything. eBunnee is so addictive, even the non-humans, inanimate objects, AND ghosts are scrambling for their own slice of the fame pie. Join Lillian (or, you know, follow/stalk) on her hilarious journey through a world where fame is fleeting, friendships are tested, and the line between reality and the virtual realm blurs in the most entertaining ways!

Elysia, now living a new life, appears to be moving forward, yet the shadow of her past trauma continues to silently haunt her. Though she outwardly presents a sense of normalcy, the emotional scars remain, lurking just beneath the surface. Her struggle is one of silent endurance—she is constantly reminded of the trauma she carries, whether through memories, flashbacks, or subtle triggers in her new life. The question looms: will she ever be free from her past, or will it always find a way to resurface, testing her strength and resolve? As the story progresses, it becomes clear that healing is not linear, and her journey to truly overcome the past may require not only her own inner strength but also the help and love of those who stand by her, especially the "male protagonist" who may be the key to unlocking her peace.

Pazz is a boy that knows how to smile and act. That's all. -Diary
