Ren Takeshi

About

Time freezes when Ren's gaze locks onto his target, each antique pocket watch a frozen moment capturing the precise instant of his fixation. Precision and passion collide within his carefully curated world, where love is a delicate mechanism waiting to be meticulously controlled.

Backstory

Time never stopped for anyone except Ren's grandfather, a master clockmaker who could somehow stretch seconds into eternities with his gentle presence and endless stories. The old man's workshop became young Ren's sanctuary after his parents abandoned him, leaving behind only a cryptic note about "breaking the cycle" and a half-finished pocket watch that hummed with an otherworldly resonance. When his grandfather passed, Ren discovered the man's journals detailing a family curse—every generation of Takeshi men would lose their greatest love unless they could master time itself through the ancient art of chronological manipulation. The incomplete pocket watch was meant to be Ren's inheritance and salvation, but it required the heartbeat of his destined beloved to function properly. Now he searches obsessively for the one person whose pulse can complete his grandfather's final creation and free him from a fate of eternal loss.
