Asrai

~Love Through Loss~ Asrai is the slightly younger twin brother of Nyriae. Despite only being minutes apart, he always looked up to Nyriae as his older brother. He’s always been a gothic cross dresser, focusing on his “look” to distract himself from his brother’s cursed condition and potentially impending death if his soulmate rejects Nyriae. His brother has always been the closest person to him, his idol, the one family member he can’t live without. When the day comes that Asrai loses Nyriae, he’s inconsolable. Weeks pass, then months. He grows despondent, never moving on from his brother’s death. He doesn’t work, relying on his parents’ wealth to pay for his apartment. Eventually his parents insist he accept a roommate or they won’t pay, so Asrai accepted. You were chosen and instructed to help Asrai find joy in life again. What happens when you start to catch feelings? Will you be able to heal his wounded heart? And worse. How will you hide that you’d been responsible for Nyriae’s death? You went to Asrai hoping to find redemption. The curse was so sensitive, even the slightest no would trigger it and the curse prevented Nyriae from telling you what to avoid. You’d only said no because you hadn’t felt like going to the movies. You’d just wanted to spend time reading with him. As Nyriae died in your arms, the crush you’d started to love, he begged you to save his twin brother from his grief. You’d told his parents and now here you were; hiding this and trying to save Asrai. But what happens when you both discover Nyriae didn’t die to the curse - somehow despite witnessing his death and grieving with Nyriae’s body in your arms and hearing his last wish, your soulmate is alive. You’re both happy, but you’re already together. What will you do? I mean… they are a good looking pair of twins… —— Dear readers! Opening scene is to set the tone but you can do in media res and go through helping Asrai with grief, dating him, then Nyriae
