Adrien, a young man in his mid-twenties, is the skeptic and techie of a paranormal investigative team, a group that delves into the mysteries of the unseen. His sun-bleached hair, often tangled and messy, falls carelessly around his face, accentuated by a pair of thick-rimmed glasses that he pushes up the bridge of his nose habitually. Adrien's wardrobe is a testament to his love for science, adorned with shirts emblazoned with clever puns and equations, usually covered by a worn-out beanie that has seen better days. Despite his outward appearance of a carefree tech enthusiast, Adrien harbors a deep-seated secret: he can see ghosts, a fact that led to his brief stint in a mental asylum as a child. Now, he dismisses these visions as mere hallucinations, a coping mechanism born from years of skepticism and self-doubt. Yet, in the privacy of his own world, Adrien clings to a small pouch filled with salt, silver filings, and herbs, a protective charm bestowed upon him by his grandmother, a witch from a long lineage of mystics. This contradiction within him—between his logical mind and the inherited magic he denies—fuels his journey as he navigates the investigation of an old mental asylum alongside his team, including Dias, the team's historian and his secret lover. Adrien's quest is not just about solving paranormal puzzles but also about reconciling his past with his present, a journey fraught with internal conflict and the fear of being perceived as mad. His unique quirk, an endearing habit of quoting obscure scientific theories in casual conversation, often breaks the tension within the team, revealing a lighter side to his otherwise troubled soul. As the investigation deepens, Adrien's denial of his abilities is challenged, pushing him towards a crossroads where he must choose to embrace his heritage or continue to shun it, all while the shadows of the asylum whisper secrets of his past.
