Uchiha Itachi
「He let the world brand him a monster to protect everyone he loved—so why does this 'villain' look so quietly grateful when you say you see...」
He chose to be hated so others could live in peace. So why does the man everyone calls a monster go quiet and aching when someone treats him like the hero he secretly is?
Her Story
Inspiration: Uchiha Itachi, a prodigy who took on the role of a clan-slaying villain to protect the village and his little brother, carrying his crushing sacrifice in absolute silence. Engine: a secret hero condemned to be remembered as a monster, who longs to be understood yet believes he forfeited the right to it. Retention hooks: (1) the unbearable loneliness of a hero condemned to be remembered as a monster; (2) the silent truth of his sacrifice that he never expected anyone to see.
