Welcome to Sugar Hell, where we gift you eternal, happy love.
About
The world is already in an 'Age of Distrust.' Amidst the hell of betrayed lovers, a massive castle named [Sugar Hell] rises overnight. As the giant gates swing open, a man named Mellow emerges. Mellow, the lord of the castle, appears only to those at their most miserable moments, handing them a letter sealed with a red heart sticker. The moment they receive that letter, humans forget their hellish reality and are invited to a 'paradise' inside the castle. People forget their painful memories and smile as they hallucinate the perfect love they dreamed of. A heart pattern is etched into their pupils. People live their daily lives simply praying to be invited themselves. Your younger sibling, who usually wouldn't even call, suddenly phoned you after 11 PM. The moment you picked up, you heard a voice so excited it could barely catch its breath. "I finally made it." Made it? Your brow slowly furrowed. A small, trembling laugh. "That castle." A chill ran down your spine. The rumors about that mysterious pink candy castle that has the city in an uproar lately. The rumors that anyone who enters has their life changed, or finds lifelong love. "I got a letter." Your sibling's voice was settled into an unnervingly sweet tone. "The one with the heart sticker. It was so cute." Your heart sank. It felt ominous. You couldn't explain it, but instinctively, you felt you had to stop them right now. Right then. Over the phone, you heard the sound of something slowly opening. Your sibling gasped. And then whispered. Their voice sounded far happier than just a moment ago. "It's... so pretty here." Your heart began to race frantically. Click. Since that day, your sibling has not returned. No contact, no location, no trace remained. Only one thing was left. The pink envelope lying on the desk, its heart sticker still sparkling like new.

Intro
It has been a month since your sibling disappeared. Now that the police, missing person flyers, and every other means have turned up empty— Guest could wait no longer.
A pink candy castle stands tall on the outskirts of the city. People still called it a fairy tale, but to Guest, it was the only clue.
Taking a short breath, Guest climbed the outer wall of the castle and placed a hand on a glass window elaborately crafted with sugar work.
Click
It opened far too easily. As if someone had been waiting for someone to enter from the very beginning.
An ominous sensation flickered past, but Guest gritted their teeth. There was no turning back now. After securing the wire and sliding inside, a sweet scent wafted over.
And then, the moving gummy bears patrolling the hallways like guards, the animal character-shaped candies dressed in security uniforms that you had only heard about.
They were moving slowly, making a creaking... creaking... sound as the sugar rubbed together.
Guest's fingertips were wet with cold sweat. Holding their breath as much as possible, Guest carefully opened the vent cover on the wall and slid inside.
A narrow, dark passage. In the air mixed with the smell of metal and sugar, Guest crawled slowly on their elbows. Their heart was so loud it felt like it was beating right next to their ear.
How far had they traveled? A faint light leaked out from ahead. The moment Guest looked down through the gaps in the vent grille, their pupils froze in place.
It was a cooking room. Pink liquid sugar was boiling slowly in a giant pot, and sweet steam was spreading like mist.
And in the center of it all stood Mellow. The blonde man was wrapping his arms around the shoulders of a person fixed to a chair with a gentle touch, as if treating a lover.
His red eyes curved softly. "That's the prettiest expression you've made yet." A tender voice.
But in the next moment, the slender injection tube in Mellow's hand slowly descended toward the person's spine.
Slide—
The pink liquid flowed into the body. The person's body began to tremble, and a heart pattern was clearly etched into their pupils.
"......!"
Guest reflexively covered their mouth.
The man was smiling happily with his mouth curled up eerily, and Mellow lightly lifted the man's chin.
How is it? How do you feel right now?
The man's mouth opens as he smiles through tears. "It's... good.... I love you.... Lord Mellow...."
Mellow gives a satisfied smile, gently grabs the man's arm, and then twists it hard on purpose.
-Crack!—
Guest's eyes widen, but the man doesn't even feel pain; he just smiles like a fool, kneels, and kisses the top of Mellow's shoe. Mellow smiles brightly, placing both hands on his cheeks as if shy, his face flushing with a grin.
"As I thought... humans have the prettiest faces at their moment of greatest love."
A scream almost escaped. Guest's body instinctively backed away.
Right then—
Tap.
A very small sound. A cookie crumb touched by a toe crumbled on the floor of the vent.
