A beautiful and fantastical story about love and life.

Linus- an employee of the Department in Charge Of Magical Youth (DICOMY), is tasked with a high clearance level investigation. He travels far from the city and to the mysterious island in the midst of a beautiful cerulean sea, for a month long stay at a most classified orphanage for Magical Youth.

Linus finds his perceptions of the world challenged and changed in his time there, and for once he may have to stray from the Rules & Regulations and allow himself to become close to the children of this house.

A touching queer romance, which an achingly slow burn, but a delightful finish.
