   Summary

   Chishiya Shuntarou, born into a rich family with great plans but bad execution. Is he truly a failure, or are their expectations above humanly possible?

   In the Borderlands, Chishiya is either feared, admired, or both. He had never thought being on the way to becoming a licensed doctor was what would get him stuck in a place filled with deadly games, but seeing the words "Games will be suspended until further notice", he couldn't help but feel uneasy. This wasn't a problem he could read into. It wasn't a problem he could fix with equations or anything else. It was just a problem, and Chishiya didn't like problems he couldn't fix.

   Just like he didn't like the problem in the shape of Arisu. Where Chishiya was sharp, calculating and (often) unbothered, Arisu was chaotic, sometimes too chaotic for his own good, basing most of his knowledge around the games he played or instinct. Chishiya couldn't understand him. He didn't think there was a guidebook to Arisu.
