1.
After her parents died, young Lan Ze was left with a powerful, perfect android.
The android had been made using Lan Ze’s genes, with an indelible imprint buried deep in its mind:
[Protect him forever. Follow him until the very last moment of your life.]
2.
His family was wealthy and powerful. As soon as his parents died, people hoping to carve up the family fortune began showing themselves.
By day, Lan Ze was willful and imperious, driving them all out the door.
At night, he curled up in the corner of his room, sobbing.
“Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
A gentle voice rang clear through the darkness.
Lan Ze looked up in alarm and saw a tall figure slowly approaching, with a handsome, elegant face uncannily like his own.
3.
Lan Ze thought of him as family.
But he soon discovered that the other was not human. He was the weapon, guardian, and replacement his parents had left behind for him.
Even so, Lan Ze still called him, “Big brother.”
4.
Raphael was the perfect family member and powerful protector, sheltering Lan Ze as he grew to adulthood.
Day after day, year after year.
Until recently, feelings that did not belong in his role had begun to grow within him: jealousy, greed, longing... and an unmistakable possessiveness.
Lan Ze soon sensed something was wrong.
“Big brother, what do you really want?”
“Anything a human can do, I can do too.”
He gripped Lan Ze’s wrist, his expression stubborn and feverish. “So give all your love and trust to me.”
