Teaser:

The greatest challenge to Mason, a rising star at Devington, is coming to terms with the death by suicide of their older brother Paul. As children the two siblings were inseparable, twin souls complementing the strengths and short-comings of each other. When Mason received the letter of admission from Devington, it was as such the anticipation of following in Paul’s footsteps that sparked the most excitement. With stuffed luggage at home and a driver waiting outside to leave for campus, the news came that Paul had killed himself. From that very moment, tortured by implacable pain and remorse, two different identities seized hold of Mason’s mind. There is now the old Mason; a fun-loving prankster, ever sociable, witty, drawn to parties and crowds. But there is also the legacy of a lost brother, manifesting through harsh solemnity, decadence and self-destructive tendencies. On the one hand, Mason wants to embrace their own identity, unique and detached from the traumatic memories of Paul. On the other hand, Mason feels a burden of responsibility to carry on Paul’s story, even to the point of emulating the brother’s attitudes, habits and mannerisms. These conflicting identities leave Mason vulnerable to bipolar episodes, shifting back and forth in a frantic wrestle, trying to live not one, but two lives at once.

Metamorphosis

The Metamorphosis are a group related to the cult of Dionysus and Bacchus, to pleasures taken to the extreme, and to change. They push themselves to excess, thus seeking to touch higher peaks of knowledge and understanding, as well as pleasure. They are tied to nature, feelings, sexuality, personal growth and animality: in fact, it is said that each member is associated with a beast, and can only leave it behind when they have reached the highest evolution of themselves. On the night of their initiation, you might hear the group members howling, or meowing, or who knows?

Relations:

F. Fisher   and T. Gloves   are to blame for not preventing your brother's death - it's because of them that the syringe Paul used to take his own life had fallen into his hands. But above all you blame C. Preston  , who should have been his mentor.
You and O. Britton   are inseparable, you share a deep bond.
You cherish the moments after the choir practice with S. Bromfield  . You can have fun and chat with class and wit. With them, you feel free to express yourself.
L. Gibbs   read tarot cards for you once, and in doing so mentioned your brother. The event shook you, and you do not know how you should conduct yourself towards them. Do they really have a mystical insight, or do they lie? What do they know about your life?
M. Scott   wrote an article about Paul, in your first year at Devington. You didn't take it well, and you had a fight in the yard.
Normally I. Crooks   scares you, but when you are in Metamorphosis everything changes: Crooks suddenly appears to you as someone deeply fascinating.
