Bungo Stray Dogs

Author: Schrödinger Status: Not complete Categories: Action－Supernatural－Mystery Prologue: Chiyo Tsukahara was an artist who learned, far too young, that beautiful things could still be feared. She painted skies that twisted like dying stars. People with faces that did not belong to them. Cities whose streets led nowhere—yet somehow, always led somewhere. Her teachers called them mistakes. They told her to paint properly, to stop imagining things that did not exist, to make her art normal. So Chiyo learned to make herself smaller. She painted what they wanted. And somewhere along the way, she stopped believing that what she saw was real. She was wrong. Her paintings were never meaningless. They were doors, every color held a world behind it and every unfinished stroke concealed something waiting to breathe. A little blue could become an endless sky. A smear of black could become a corridor with no end. A single drop of red could stain reality itself. She does not need a brush, the only thing that needed are colors. Paint. Ink. Water carrying the faintest trace of pigment. And if someone touches it—they disappear. Not dead, not gone. They just simply at elsewhere, somewhere inside the painting. Somewhere that only Chiyo can see. And perhaps the cruelest part of her ability is that the worlds she creates are beautiful. Beautiful enough that they might forget to be afraid. Until they notice the sky is moving, realizing the people in the painting are watching them intensely. In their last moment, they look behind themselves—and discover there was never an exit. Chiyo Tsukahara spent years believing that her imagination was a defect. Now, reality has begun to prove her wrong. Because when an artist finally stops asking permission to create, the canvas is no longer the only thing that can be painted. ━ This story will follow the anime/manga. So be warned in spoilers ahead!
