And honestly, I think this would fit the AU REALLY well because you can keep:
BUT without turning it into “the end of the world.”
Like a crime series + neon + broken characters trying to survive.
more emotional, less apocalyptic version
🌃 THE SANCTUARY IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD
the only place where the rejected can exist.
And that makes EVERYTHING more human.
people who have nothing left outside
Soulvester created The Sanctuary because:
he was someone discarded too.
So his mafia works in a strange way:
yes, they do illegal things…
but among them there’s one rule:
“no one abandons their own.”
Here, their powers do NOT destroy the world.
Hikari’s music influences emotions BUT:
it doesn’t cause an apocalypse
It simply makes people feel EVERYTHING more intensely.
That’s why The Sanctuary is so addictive.
you dance until you forget who you are
And that makes Hikari famous in the underworld.
She’s still violent and protective.
But now her conflict is more personal:
she doesn’t know how to live without fighting.
So in The Sanctuary she slowly learns:
how to EXIST without war.
And Hikari helps her so much 😭
Teagan doesn’t want to destroy the world.
They just want to destroy Soulvester’s power.
The Sanctuary has become too influential.
And other mafias start to feel threatened.
And that’s where the criminal DRAMA comes in.
Here, Soulvester is NOT a crazy villain.
He’s someone who started with good intentions…
but little by little, power is changing him.
He wants to protect everyone.
he makes horrible decisions
Connie starts noticing it.
Connie still believes in the old version of him.
They investigate The Sanctuary.
But the more they discover…
the more they understand that:
the line between criminal and victim is broken.
Because many members of the mafia:
or simply found family there
So Dandy starts questioning:
“Would shutting this place down really help anyone?”
Hikari loves playing music because:
for the first time since her death…
she feels like someone is truly listening.
the lights reflect on her wings
the black smoke mixes with the neon
everyone raises their hands
🕶️ THE REAL THEME OF THE AU
“the apocalypse is coming”
“broken people trying to build something of their own.”
And that feels SO much more emotional.Because she wouldn’t be:
“the violent killer who never changes”
But someone who slowly learns that living isn’t just about surviving.
And that connects PERFECTLY with Hikari.
Because Hikari represents:
While Skystar has always been:
So Hikari literally teaches her how to EXIST outside of war 😭
It would go something like this:
✨ SKYSTAR AND HIKARI’S ENDING
After the Sanctuary closes…
everyone goes their separate ways.
The music disappears for a while.
for the first time in a very long time…
Because her whole life she had:
something to fight against
But now there’s only silence.
And that terrifies her more than any fight.
One night, without telling anyone, she ends up at the beach.
Not because she had a goal.
Not because she was chasing someone.
The city lights barely reach the sand.
And the sound of the waves reminds her a little of the white noise Hikari used before performing.
So she walks into the water.
Like she expects something to attack her.
the water moving around her
the vastness of the world
Skystar understands something small but important:
Maybe not everything was made to be destroyed.
She doesn’t think about heaven.
She just looks at the reflection of the lights on the ocean…
Because after so many years…
she finally found something that doesn’t need to be saved or destroyed.
She doesn’t become “soft.”
She doesn’t stop being dangerous.
She doesn’t lose her personality.
But she no longer looks for fights.
protects without unnecessary brutality
and starts enjoying small things
listening to Hikari practice music
And Hikari notices the change before anyone else.
Because one day Skystar simply tells her:
“I think I’m starting to understand why you wanted to save things.”
And Hikari almost cries 😭
There’s a small hidden club in another city.
It’s not dangerous like The Sanctuary.
Hikari plays music there some nights.
And among the soft lights and the smoke…
There’s always someone waiting near the stage.
