Backstory
Takashi Kumane, also known as Xan whilst living in hell, lived in Japan with his mother, father, and twin brother. He got along with his brother fairly well, besides the occasional sibling fights. But as he grew older, he slowly began to resent his brother deeply. Takashi's brother was a golden child. He had good grades, he was popular with both boys and girls, and he was great at any sport or activity. it would be an understatement to say Takashi was jealous of him.

In response to his jealousy, Takashi tried his best to better than his brother. He'd stay up for days on end studying to get good grades. The insomnia and lack of sleep affected his mental health greatly, making him hallucinate and hear awful things. Often, he'd hallucinate hearing his parents trash talk him and how awful he is. Hearing these things made him even angrier, which resulted in him staying up all night more. The more he focused on being better, the more everyone close to him started to push away.

Takashi was a quiet kid. Since he never slept, he often lashed out to anyone who spoke to him. This made people begin to hate him. Classmates would beat him up or spread gossip about him, making his life even more miserable. He got pushed into rivers, shoved into lockers, and thrown out of two-story high windows into the bushes below. He was often injured, so he visited the infirmary about once a week. He became close friends with the school nurse, who seemed to be the only one who understood him. He was heartbroken when the school nurse retired two months later.

The beatings and rumors continued. After the retiring of his closest friend, Takashi became even more distant than he was before. This angered the bullies. The bullies got more and more violent, a bully often bringing weapons to injure Takashi. While all of this was happening, Takashi's brother stood back and watched his brother get beat down and harassed constantly. At some points, Takashi's brother participated in the harassment. This made Takashi's hatred deepen.

Takashi was at his breaking point. One night, Takashi went through an intense mental breakdown to where he created a plan to murder his brother. He decided that the next day, he would lure his brother to the school rooftop after school when no one was around. He would then push his brother off the building as stage it as a suicide.

Takashi waited the whole day to meet his brother after telling him to come to the rooftop after school. Finally, when the last school bell rang, Takashi excitedly rushed up to the rooftop to see his brother standing at the ledge. Takashi ran up behind him and gave a hard push, enough to send his brother off the rails. His brother turned to face him one final time as he was falling, screaming for him to help as he fell four stories down onto the hard pavement below. The adrenaline of the moment got to Takashi's head, causing him to slip and fall off the roof as well.
