Summary
Shikata ga nai (仕方がない), pronounced [ɕi̥kata ɡa naꜜi], is a Japanese language phrase meaning "it cannot be helped" or "nothing can be done about it".
Shikata ga nai—it cannot be helped.
It is the marrow of existence in the Borderlands. At some point, you stop asking why you're here or if you deserve it. It doesn't matter in the end, because you are here whether you deserve it or not.
People die. Friends betray you. The world here is cold, indifferent, and immovable, and no amount of tears or rage can alter its course.
Shikata ga nai—it will never be helped.
The game demands sacrifice, and you are its dutiful servant. Their death ensures your life. Their blood buys you one more moment in twisted purgatory. This is the only life left to you, and it is as inevitable as the sunrise and just as cruel.

Summary
The complete desolation of necessary good. The exposed flesh of a human's barbaric will to survive.
Akiyama Tsusaka was a lawyer practicing in the heart of Tokyo before the city opened its jaws and swallowed her whole. Finding herself in a replica of the world she had once known ignited something inside of her, something she never knew to exist before her arrival. As Tokyo twisted and turned under her feet, she clawed desperately at anything she could find to explain how and why she ended up in this purgatory made exactly for her.
Only one question needed to be answered despite the absurdity of this new universe.
How far would she go to survive?

Summary
For 𝐘𝐔𝐙𝐔𝐊𝐈 𝐁𝐀𝐘𝐀, all worlds contain dangerous elements- though she might even be safer in the Borderlands; the laws she broke don't apply here.
𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎̄ 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀 knows about her actions all too well. He's not interested in redemption, yet something about her piques his curiosity. Perhaps the fact that her illegal activities affected him on a daily basis.
Once they enter the Borderlands, they pretend not to know each other. But both of them are always keeping a sharp eye out. Waiting for the other to crack. Waiting, maybe, for the moment they lose a game.

Summary
As we grow up, we cling on to a concept of "fear".
Showing signs of fear is displaying that you're weak.
Destruction. Anxiety. Failure.
We all spend countless hours, days, months, or even years trying to perfect our lives into our own ideal fantasy. Inevitably, we're bound to fail.
Crash. Hit. Burn.
We all fall like dominoes.
It's time to gamble with the high stakes of life.
