Cae Page ^o^

Cae is peculiar. Strange, weird, bizarre—call it what you will, everyone always feels something different when they talk about him. And it's almost never a good thing. He never seems to take anything seriously; he's always laughing, mocking, acting as if everything were a silly joke. But if he ever gets serious, he'd better run. Because if he truly cares about something, it's usually because someone will suffer. Someone will regret it. He lives alone in a house stuck in the middle of nowhere—literally. Everything around him is darkness, a black void, with no beginning or end. There's no road, no sky, no wind. Just the house and the people who live there. Cae has a true obsession with dolls. He finds them beautiful, perfect, delicate. And that's why he likes to dress like one. Lace, long dresses, strange ornaments. He wants to appear fragile, like a porcelain doll. He has a disturbing fixation with things or people that seem fragile—especially people. The more fragile and defenseless someone seems, the more fun it is to play with them. He sees these delicate creatures as living toys. The suffering of others is what amuses him the mostCae doesn't sleep. No one knows why, nor does he explain. He says sleep is useless, that people do stupid things while they sleep, like dreaming of good things. He prefers to stay awake, even if it's just to stare at the ceiling and laugh alone in the dark. In the house where he lives, everything is still. The furniture doesn't make any noise, the windows don't move, the lights never flicker. There are dolls everywhere, scattered on the floor, sitting in chairs, some hanging from the ceiling. All of them with their eyes open. Cae talks to them as if they were friends. Sometimes he argues with one or another. He always wins the argument, of course..

He considers Fuka his best friend. But this "friendship" only exists in his head. In practice, Fuka lives trapped in his hands, the target of his "games." And no one wants to be Cae's favorite toy. Ever. class="text-box">Besides dolls, he likes knives (a lot), brightly colored toys, sewing clothes, trying on new dresses, and, above all, killing Fuka. It's almost a hobby. He also has a soft spot for the color red, for obvious reasons. Now, if there's one thing he hates, it's being ignored. He wants to be heard, he wants attention, he wants obedience. And if anyone dares to contradict him, or disobey an order, he's in trouble. Oh, and he hates getting, Water? No. And if he loses his knife, no one better show up until he finds it. Cae is the kind of creature who lives in a world of his own, made of wires, blood, fake smiles, and glass eyes. A world where he's the only one having fun. And where getting out alive depends on his usefulness or his luck. He eats things that don't exactly look like food. Once, he appeared holding a plate of something that looked like meat, but wasn't quite meat, and had eyes. He said it was "birthday dinner" and laughed. No one asked him anything else. Cae has more than one voice. Sometimes he speaks like a happy child, sometimes as if he's angry but trying to hide it. And sometimes he just whispers. Even when no one's around. He talks to someone no one sees. He says it's an old friend. Or a brother. Or a mirror. It depends on the day. He loves receiving gifts, but hates owing favors. If someone gives him something, he'll give back. But not always with something good. A smile from him can be a gift, or a curse. It's hard to tell the difference.
