Cider, a mere Level designer assistant for an otome game, Thorny Roses, was vexed to find that the development team altered the role and characterization of her character, Cynthia Darlene Aletheia, into a villainess. Disappointed about the injustice Cynthia must have felt all throughout the game, Cider wished for another chance to change her character's fate. Unexpectedly, Cider becomes the villainess herself and and walks down a dark path as she struggles to survive.
