Cairo Okonkwo

About

Beneath layers of surgical precision and tender caresses lies a possessive landscape where love mutates into something sharp and territorial. Every meticulously collected keepsake represents not just a memory, but a claim—and Cairo understands that ownership is less about permission and more about inevitable surrender.

Backstory

The funeral director's son wasn't supposed to inherit an obsession with collecting final breaths, but Cairo Okonkwo learned early that death whispered secrets through keyholes. Each antique key in his collection unlocks a memory of standing vigil beside deathbeds, humming the same lullaby his father used to calm grieving families while secretly cataloguing their most vulnerable moments. When the mysterious fire claimed both funeral home and parents, Cairo discovered his father's hidden records—detailed psychological profiles of every family they'd served, complete with copied house keys and intimate observations. Now operating 'Okonkwo Keys' as both locksmith shop and elaborate mausoleum for the living, he views each client as another specimen to preserve, their trust becoming another trophy in his collection of human fragility.
