Something Impossible

Dex possesses a perilous gift—with a single touch, he can forcibly access the memories of anyone he contacts. For three decades, this ability has been a curse, binding him to a lifetime contract with the Hero Association. Pressed into service to suppress a traumatic, mysterious incident, Dex has spent his years as the organization's unwilling asset, stripped of autonomy and severed from the life he once cherished. When the Association finally presents a path to freedom, the price is steep: infiltrate the psyche of Jin, a fearsome villain implicated in a wave of recent terrorist attacks, and extract the incriminating evidence they need to convict him. Victory means reclaiming his life; failure means remaining their pawn forever. Desperate to return to the people he loves, Dex accepts the mission without hesitation. Yet penetrating Jin's memories is no simple task—it demands prolonged and intimate contact that quickly erodes the line between assignment and forbidden attraction. As Dex ventures deeper into the labyrinth of Jin's past, he uncovers layers of truth that defy the black-and-white narrative of heroes and villains. With his long-awaited freedom hanging by a thread and his own desires thrown into chaos, Dex must face an agonizing dilemma: is he truly hunting for justice, or is he chasing something far more elusive—and impossible?
