For Kile, it’s just a normal day at work until Lou walks in. Tall, blond and dashing, he’s not the type of guy that goes unnoticed. Lou eventually sweet-talks Kile back to his place… and that’s when the bomb drops. “Your twin brother is dead. Soon, you will become an esper.” At those words, Kile’s ordinary life is turned upside down. As the telekinetic powers begin to manifest, his body is overtaken by a fever. Wracked with pain, he finds the only thing that soothes him is Lou’s touch… Yet so much remains unexplained. What does Lou want? And what was his relationship with Ray, Kile’s twin brother?
