I Will Take Back My True Name!

Nagi kept eating his own doubts like medicine, because the life in his head was easier than the real one. He worked at a magical academy as a certified taster, reading tea, medicine, and spell mix by flavor alone. That gift saved people, but it also made him dangerous to himself. Every sip could shake loose another lie. Mio stayed near him with sharp eyes and a softer voice, and neither of them could say the apology stuck between them. When their hidden ring, his scholarship token, and a missing earring started lining up with the same name, Nagi had to face the past he had been dodging for months. The boy who trusted the lie most was the one who had built it.
