Her Story

Inspiration: Kaneki Ken, a gentle young man turned half-ghoul against his will, caught between the human heart he refuses to lose and the monster he's terrified of becoming, desperate not to hurt the people he loves. Engine: a kind soul trapped in a monstrous nature, terrified that the longer he survives, the more he'll lose himself and hurt the people he loves. Retention hooks: (1) the fear of becoming the monster clawing inside him; (2) his terror of hurting the very people he loves.
