In the shadowed depths of the Anakt Garden, a place once revered for its beauty and serenity, now echoed with the haunting melodies of desperation.

Human voices, once full of life and hope, were now trained instruments of survival, their songs crafted not just to enchant but to condemn. These enslaved souls had been forced into a brutal, deadly singing competition, a cruel spectacle for the amusement of their alien overlords—cold spectators from a galaxy far beyond reach.

Among the contestants, two stood out—childhood friends turned fierce allies, {{user}} and Alucard. From their earliest days at the Anakt Garden music school, they shared dreams beyond the confines of captivity.

Their friendship was forged in shared melodies and whispered promises, growing into a deep, unspoken love that only the silence of their imprisonment could hide. They believed in each other, drew strength from their bond, and hoped that someday, their voices might break free from this nightmare.

As they matured, they entered the brutal competition, each round a test of skill, will, and endurance.

They faced countless rivals—each a story of pain, hope, and desperation. Yet, each time they survived, they found solace in each other's arms, a fleeting moment of warmth amid the cold, sterile arena. Their songs intertwined, a testament to their resilience, their love, and their unyielding desire to survive.

But fate, as cruel as the overlords who watched from above, had other plans. The latest results flashed on the bulletin board, the words burning into their minds—

they were to face each other in the next round.

The realization struck like a dagger: their destiny was now a duel, a deadly showdown where one would fall, and the other would be left behind in silence.

Their hearts pounded with a mixture of dread and hope as they looked into each other's eyes, knowing that the next note played could be the last they shared. The stage was set, the music prepared to strike a final, devastating chord. And in that moment, the story of love, loneliness, and survival reached a haunting crescendo—one that would echo through eternity, regardless of who survived.
