He sought perfection in teachings that had been forbidden for a reason. Through occult knowledge, relentless discipline, and rituals forgotten by the mortal world, he rebuilt himself into something magnificent—strong, beautiful, and almost divine. Yet every act of creation carries the possibility of ruin.

One half of him still displays the triumph of his ambition: an ideal masculine form, proud and seemingly indestructible. The other has opened into a dark, crumbling cathedral, revealing arches, chambers, and sacred ruins where flesh should have been. He holds the fractured architecture against his chest, desperately preserving the masterpiece he created from himself.

The Architect of Forbidden Perfection belongs to the dark baroque world of House of Shirley, where beauty and destruction are often born from the same desire. He became the architect of his own perfection—but without knowing it, he also designed the cathedral of his collapse.
