In a forgotten corner of the city, a boy known only as the White Rabbit endured the cruelty of an indifferent foster family, bullied by siblings and ignored by social workers.

Finding solace in a battered copy of Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland," he dreamed of escaping to a world where anything was possible.

One fateful day, a portal to the realm of Makai opened before him. Eager for adventure, he stepped through, only to face the choking air and a menacing demon.

Just as despair threatened to swallow him whole, a friendly Makaian saved him, bringing him to a refuge where warmth and friendship replaced the coldness he once knew.

But tragedy struck when one of his dear friend succumbed to the toxic atmosphere.

Grieving at her funeral, he sacrificed his beloved book as an offering for the safety of those he loved.

Determined to prevent further loss, he created a device using a glowing gem to open portals between the worlds, enabling Makaians to escape to the human realm.

Years later, now a young man, he ventured into the human world again with his friends, delighting in laughter and captured moments.

Yet their joy was abruptly interrupted when a human woman discovered them, her astonished gaze hanging heavy in the air.

In that moment, the boundaries between their worlds began to blur, and he knew that adventure always came at a cost.
