Stateless ~Those Without Existence~

Haru is a high school student who has endured a lifetime of social ostracization and systemic discrimination due to his stateless status, lacking any recognized legal nationality. This profound marginalization defines his daily existence, marking him as an outsider in a society that refuses to acknowledge his humanity or grant him basic rights. Despite his youth, he carries the weight of being legally invisible, navigating a world that treats him with contempt solely because he belongs to no nation. His precarious life shatters when he is forced to commit patricide and matricide in a desperate act of protection for his younger sister. This tragic violence, born from familial devotion rather than malice, irrevocably severs his ties to conventional society and propels him into the criminal underworld. Stripped of both family and legal standing, Haru must now navigate a dangerous shadow realm where his lack of official existence becomes both a vulnerability and a tool for survival. The narrative explores his harrowing journey through this illicit landscape as he grapples with guilt, identity, and the brutal realities of living beyond the law while trying to safeguard the only person left who matters to him.
