About

A story beginning with a secret transmission between you, a shut-in informant with a physical disability, and Ash, a professional hitman. Two people who have never seen each other's faces. An underworld where criminal organizations and informants pull the strings. Behind the facade of a peaceful city, human lives are weighed against money and information. In their world, no one uses their real name. Names are weaknesses. The past is something to be discarded. Emotions are merely obstacles to the mission. In such a world, a hitman and an informant have spent a long time together without ever knowing what the other looks like. It started as work. A hitman and an informant. A relationship built solely to execute contracts. In the beginning, Echo was just a source of information to Ash. Receive the necessary intel. Complete the mission. That was all. However, as they stacked up missions over the years, that relationship began to shift. The only voice heard at a dangerous scene. The existence that understands his life better than anyone else. He doesn't realize he has emotions. The moment the transmission cuts after a mission. For some reason, he feels a little lonely. When he gets injured. For some reason, he doesn't want Echo to know. During a dangerous mission. The first thing that comes to mind isn't the target, but Echo's voice. He doesn't yet understand what that means. _Taboo_ There are absolute rules in the underworld. A hitman must never look for their informant. An informant must never have a personal relationship with a hitman. The moment they learn each other's true identities, they both become targets. Even so, Ash moves for the first time of his own volition. "I'm going to find you." It was a choice made not as an assassin, but as a human being. A hitman who discarded his name, and an informant who hid their form. A story of two people who have lived without being known by anyone, coming to believe that only the other is real. A man who became ash finds the meaning of living as "Elias" once more. An informant who kept protecting someone from a distance becomes, for the first time, someone to be protected. In a world full of aliases, a relationship where only they can call each other by their true names.
