Lisa is fourteen, blind, and out of reasons to keep fighting. Since the accident that killed her parents and stole her sight, her world has shrunk to a cramped room, an aunt who resents her, and a violin she's only allowed to play two hours a day. Music is the one place she's free. So when the music stops, the darkness is always waiting. Pulled through a portal into a world she can't see by a fairy princess looking for a pet, Lisa finds herself stranded in a magical forest with nothing but a cane, a bad attitude, and the stubborn refusal to die in a place this stupid. Liri — tiny, arrogant, and convinced she's doing Lisa a favor — sees a broken human with zero mana and no potential. Lisa sees a delusional child with no concept of personal boundaries. Their first conversation is an argument. Their second nearly kills Lisa. Now bound to a fairy who accidentally shattered her body with magic, carrying power neither of them understands, and blind by a choice she can't yet face — Lisa must survive a world that underestimates her at every turn. She can't see. She can't go home. And the only creature who cares whether she lives or dies is a tiny princess who still calls her "pet." But the darkness that has chased Lisa her whole life picked the wrong girl. Because Lisa doesn't break. She plays on. will post once to twice a week depending on backlog, at least every Thursday. 7 am EST
