### Backstory

Takashi Kumana, also known as Xan amongst his peers in Hell, grew up in Japan with his mother, father, and twin brother. He was very close with his brother growing up. They were inseparable all up until middle school. In middle school, he slowly began to resent his brother. Xan began to realize how much his parents preferred his brother over him. His brother had good grades, was popular with both boys and girls, and was great at almost any hobby he tried his hand at. Xan desperately wanted to be like him.

In response to his envy, Xan tried his best to be the better twin. He'd stay awake for days on end studying for tests to get good grades. His mental health began deteriorating due to the lack of sleep, and this affected his social life. He'd snap at anyone who tried speaking to him. This made him unpopular amongst people at school. He got labelled as an asshole, and this led to him being targeted for cruel pranks. Xan would spend his days being shoved into lockers, pushed into fountains, and being locked outside on the rooftop.

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.

The bullying and outcasting pushed Xan to the brink. He began to take doses of pills, which snowballed into him taking dangerous amounts of medicine each night. One night, during an overdose, he developed a plan to kill his brother, as if that would solve all issues in Xan's life.

Xan waited for his brother to meet him at the top of the school rooftop after school. With a hard push, Xan pushed his brother over the edge of the rooftop. Overwhelmed by the adrenaline and lack of sleep, Xan slipped off the rooftop as well, falling to his death along the side of his brother.
