Who Am I Supposed to Save? Chrollo? Me?

This is a redemption story. Your mission is to redeem the male lead, Chrollo.

A god looks down into your eyes.

You are meant to be the beginning and the end of it all.

First playthrough:

-- "The Most Familiar Stranger"

You and he know each other well, observing one another from a distance. To this world, you are the most familiar strangers.

Second playthrough:

-- "Marionette on a String"

"She has an extreme need for control," Chrollo says. "The world has to work according to her logic. Otherwise, she'll go mad."

Third playthrough:

-- "Stockholm Syndrome"

A fake illness, false love, just like this fabricated world. It's simply wonderful.

Fourth playthrough:

-- "Archenemies"

"What does it mean to be archenemies?"

"I want you dead, but I don't want you to die at the hands of anyone but me."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I will love you, Mom."

Written in the second person. Chrollo is the only male lead.

Here are some things to be aware of: The female lead isn't very compassionate, is powerful enough to hold her own, and also has cheats. Her identity is always Chrollo's mother, but that's only part of the setup. She is never actually his mother. The female lead is extremely clear-headed. The story may change according to the author's whims, so no ending is promised.

I don't need proofreading and won't revise this. The setting and story are entirely based on my personal tastes.

Theme: But Mom is Mom!
