    Summary

    “You know, I… I’ve always had this idea of you. In my head,” Yuuri admits, voicing a thought he's had since Viktor's unexpected arrival six months ago.

    Viktor is silent for a moment, then visibly grits his teeth.

    “I don’t live up to him, do I?” he asks, voice hushed.

    Yuuri blinks. “To who?”

    “The man in your head,” Viktor says sharply. “He’s not real, Yuuri.”

    Or,

    When Viktor Nikiforov moves to Hasetsu, Yuuri must deconstruct the celebrity persona he's worshipped his entire life. He now learns to acquaint himself with Viktor, human being.

    Each chapter is a "snapshot" of a moment when the real Viktor doesn't align with the imagined figure in Yuuri's head.

    This is a story about anxiety.
