Lycoris is your average college graduate stuck in a dead-end sales job that he hates. You've heard the same story before, you graduate and then can't find a job for two years so you take whatever you're offered.  After he discovers that his supposed long term partner was cheating on him while he was at the office, he falls off the deep end. Drowning his sorrows in whatever kind of carnal, useless pleasure he can. Picking up addictions like they're hobbies. Anything to not remember the night before, anything to make it through the coming week. 

Ione, the company's newest and peppiest hire, offers to take him out of this doomed lifestyle by providing both harm and healing in equal measure. Enough pain to satisfy his need for self-flagellation, not enough to want to leave. Enough love to fill his heart back up, not enough to seal the holes already there.

What happens when the ouroboros chokes on itself?

What is regurgitated out of something that's only eaten itself?

More importantly, what brand of cigarettes do you want me to pick up later, so I can put 'em out on you?
