After Chapter 11, PDR will officially end here. I’m deeply sorry but I no longer had the passion for it as I did before. I hope you will look forward to my future projects!!
Not everything is rosy all the time.
Every chapter’s “sypnosis” is actually a summary of all the events (with some hidden lore) just so that you won’t get confused by my horrible paneling.
The art may look less appealing prior to Chapter 8, but once you hit Chapter 8, it becomes…acceptable. And heck, some scenes are some of my best ones I never thought I’d be able to draw!

After some intense thought, Luka, our best friend, confesses to HIS best friend, Alain. Little does he know, Alain’s already in love with his OTHER friend Lacey. (#awkward)
2 years later, on Luka’s way to school — He suddenly receives a phone call from a company he’s working for. (the Profumu Di Rosa)
According to Beatrice, (the receptionist, secretary, stuff like that) Luka is now invited to a secret mission, though what it’s about is unknown.
Of course, being Luka, he tells this supposed “secret” to the whole school. His extremely high mood does not last forever though, as his then-crush Alain suddenly invites him to the same cherry blossom tree all those years ago, and kisses him abruptly like a crazy person.
Collecting his emotions, Luka finally builds up the courage, and says no. Just no, no matter how odd and embarrassing it sounds.
Later, he attends the meeting hosted by his boss, Raphael, who then starts telling him all about the mission.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town, an obsessed ASMR fan is watching his favorite streamer — Origami. To his surprise, Origami suddenly replies to his chats, meaning that she probably somehow felt the obsession.
Deciding to invite him to a fancy café, she plays a game of “Stay 5 meters away from me” with him.
After receiving “Take whatever you like” upon arriving at the café and seeing her handbag, the fan immediately gets the lipstick, applying it as it makes them indirectly kiss, before having to go as Origami returns.
Seeing that her intuition was correct, Origami lets out a satisfied grin, and begins planning for the future.
Luka’s partner + best friend, Mathéo, initially wanted to enjoy a peaceful day with his sister. Little does he know, his boss already planned on getting Beatrice to call him and Luka in regarding the secret mission. Upon arriving, Raphael quickly fills him in on everything. (Which is just “Origami is manipulative”)
Just as he finishes his epic cutscene, Luka comes into the room and he starts yapping again.
On the other side of town, during Origami’s shopping trip for her sister, she suddenly gets kidnapped. The fan’s obsession with her had grown to a point of extreme. Who knows what could’ve happened beforehand.
Tying her on a chair, he accidentally scratches her palm. This of course, makes his idol tear up slightly, and the sight of her crying has melted his heart, making him quickly rescue her from the situation. But that’s not what she wanted, she wanted PAIN, she wanted TORTURE, not a nurturing fan who would support her every decision!
…
A few days have passed, and Faustine, president of the art club is busy working on a painting, sensing something unusual arriving. Her best friend, Revêur reassures her and makes her feel much safer, like he’s always done.
As Luka arrives to school, he reminisces about his growth,
2 years ago, he used to be jealous of Lacey being with Alain, but now that 2 years have passed, he just… gave up on hatred, though he still loves Alain.
Later, seeing Alain on his own, he approaches him with slight hesitation. Though not immediately, he recognizes the person in the video — Origami. Just by hearing the noises, he immediately feels the chaos, before Lacey interrupts him by entering the room.
Suddenly, he feels the urge to vomit — probably from the lunch today. (word limit reached just read on)
Lesoleil, being Lacey’s top admirer, always follows her orders.
After finishing Lacey’s request to attack Luka and failing slightly, he then gets a notification from Lacey, who wants to know about the outcome of the attack.
Not wanting to disappont her, Lesoleil lies about the outcome, hoping to cool things down a bit.
Little does he know, Lacey had already all sorts about Luka and Alain’s kiss, as well as all sorts of rumors regarding them 2 getting closer.
This is when Mathéo, a semi-“friend” of Lesoleil’s texts him about Lacey’s discovery, which literally freezes Lesoleil in place.
Wanting to clear things up and at least make a death wish, Lesoleil meets up with Lacey in an empty classroom, since everyone else is gone now. To his surprise, Lacey rewards Lesoleil with a kiss, which makes Lesoleil’s heart drop, and fills him with a strange presence…
That night. during a midnight stroll, (Because people do that 103%) Luka enters a dark alleyway, before meeting a hanging corpse, with a face eerily dull.
After the discovery of the hanging corpse, Raphael’s police department (the Rosa is basically the police) quickly goes to the scene to investigate.
Upon examining the body, Raphael enters a state of reminiscence and understanding.
With his ability to feel others’ feelings, (he’s not the only one, as Revêur and Luka can also do it with varying levels) he figures out everything which happened with him — From his initial obsession with Origami to all of the abuse and non-self-inflicted-self-harm he’s experienced until his death.
He then reminisces about his past relationship Origami. Although he tells others that it was simply a toxic relationship, it seems more than that.
About 8 years ago, during Mathéo’s primary school years, his tendency to deceive others have long since started out of jealousy of people getting close to his best friend.
Faustine was one of them, and one of the less fortunate ones. Unable to handle the immense rumors, she initially resorted to ending everything altogether.
Seems like Alain will be next.
After Faustine and Luka’s unexpected reunion after so many years, (as you see, Faustine changed schools after the bullying and she stays in her club all day in this school) her and Luka immediately catch up with each other, leaving Mathéo in the dust.
Planning to regain his best friend’s love, he begins typing in a message to Lacey, attempting to repeat the rumors scheme all over again, only to be stopped by the victim herself.
After a heated confrontation, Faustine gets slapped by Mathéo. Deep in fury, she returns to slap with 103x the force, and sends him a few steps back, leading to him falling and eventually rolling down the backstairs.
Seeing the situation, Faustine believes that there is no return at this point, so she performs another kick, sending him down once more, as blood starts leaking from his head.
However, just before she could perform another kick, Revêur walks in and catch her in the act…
Seeing the mess Faustine has made, Revêur decides to take things into his own hands, relieving Faustine.
About a week later, Mathéo is finally healing and back to normal… almost. Hence why Luka, being the best friend he is, stays by his side for almost every possible hour, missing school.
Turns out, Lacey has actually promised to consider Lesoleil as a boyfriend if he stayed out of trouble, and that Alain had actually grown closer to them now.
Before Luka could continue filling him in on the hot gossip, policemen come in to gather information from Mathéo, which leads to Luka’s departure.
Though he knows the chances are slim, he still wants to accuse Lesoleil as that’ll make Lacey think he’s still in and out of trouble constantly.
Meanwhile, in the art room, Revêur confronts Faustine after Faustine attempts to forget all about the incident. In truth, Revêur did NOT help Faustine at all, in fact, he actually called the police.
After the confrontation, Faustine walks through a small alleyway, as though her world had become gray. But our dear Faustine proves to us exactly why not to walk alone in dark alleyways, as a sketchy man approaches her and sprays a mysterious mist (sounds misty) in her face, causing her to collapse on the ground.
Luckily, Revêur comes to the rescue and beats the man like crazy, and eventually saves Faustine, the anger just an hour ago alllll gone.
When they first met in the hospital, Revêur once said to Faustine that trust means to support someone no matter what. But that’s only one of the reasons why Revêur saved Faustine.
After they argued that day, Revêur actually caught Lesoleil sneaking into the backstairs, so he got curious.
However, as soon as he walks in he feels a surge of memories entering his brain, thus explaining the whole truth to him. Feeling like he should go find Faustine, he turns to the door, before being stopped by Lesoleil. (After all, who randomly enters and exits a room?)
Soon enough, they become engaged in conversation, as he notices Lesoleil to talk about Mathéo quite a lot, as well as him being way nicer than the rumors’ side of the story.
He also found about a mysterious force behind Lacey, something he described “devilish”. Therefore he began to investigate, and eventually discovered a number on Lacey’s phone which gives him the same devilish vibes as Lesoleil’s words.
While he saves the number, Lacey, on the other hand, is being confessed to Mathéo. As much as she wants to express her love, she notices Lesoleil outside the room. Afraid of losing such an easily-manipulated slave, she’s forced to reject Mathéo and insult him in the process, satisfying Lesoleil.
However, after Lacey leaves, Mathéo also notices someone else’s presence outside the room.
Tired from the day, Lacey returns to her house, and meets up with her sister — Origami, whose phone gets a new message from one of Lacey’s schoolmates…
