Auren hoshinaka
Auren Hoshinaka wasn't just the fat kid in class—he was the one no one wanted to sit beside, the one whose name was always followed by a snicker. His life was a cycle of stares, whispers, and cruel jokes he pretended not to hear. He laughed less, spoke rarely, and walked with his head down as if trying to disappear. But deep inside, Auren carried wounds far heavier than his body—a quiet longing to be seen, to be more than a joke. What no one realized was that behind those tired eyes was a soul waiting… aching for a moment to rise.
Auren's mom
Misaki Hoshinaka was a woman of quiet resilience. Her husband worked far away in another country, striving to support their daughter's education. Left to manage their small home alone, Misaki carried the weight of two parents on her shoulders. Every morning began with preparing Auren's lunch, a soft smile on her lips even when her heart ached with loneliness. She never complained—not about the distance, the silence of late-night calls, or the burden of raising a son who often came home hurt by the world. To her, Auren wasn't just her son—he was her anchor, her daily reason to smile. No matter how harsh the world was to him, she made sure he never came home to anything but love.
Zo Auren-
Zo Auren wasn't just a name—it was a rebirth.
He wasn't the timid, overweight boy the world ignored anymore. He was no longer the quiet shadow hiding behind oversized clothes and lowered eyes. That version of him—the one mocked, pushed, forgotten—had cracked open… and something powerful had stepped out of the silence.
Zo Auren was the fire Auren had buried for years. The strength born from pain. The calm after every storm he had endured in silence. His body had changed—sharper, faster, stronger. But what truly transformed was his spirit. His gaze no longer flinched. His voice no longer trembled. And his presence—it demanded attention.
He still remembered every insult, every laugh, every time he was made to feel less. But now, those memories didn't break him…
They fueled him.
He was still Auren—but with the weight lifted and the truth revealed.
Zo Auren was the echo of everything he was meant to be.
And now… the world would finally see him.
