Episode 1: Prelude


    【1/40】 

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

 At some time unknown, in a world whose location is also unknown.

     A story that feels like it could truly exist, yet probably does not.

             A tale told within a dream...one infinitely close to reality.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

  Long ago, deep in the mountains stood a tiny village and a dying school.
     Forgotten by society and history, it was a place that simply existed.
      If it vanished today, or tomorrow...no one would notice.

|Seriously, people like you are the worst. Just because we were hired in the same year
|and I was a little nice to you, you got the wrong idea. What an amusingly constructed
|brain you have. And then you go chase me all the way to my new assignment, talking
|about bringing me back and getting married. There's a limit to how much of a lunatic
|you can be. There's a famous saying: "Fools never learn." But in your case, it'd
|honestly be better if you just died instead. Oh, and by the way... everyone at the 
|school already knows about how you set up cameras in the girls' locker room and 
|steal underwear. But you know how it is...no one wants the trouble of exposing a 
|colleague's shame. The principal's already covered it up three times because your
|overprotective mother begged him to. You're the only one who hasn't noticed. Frankly,
|you're a nuisance. If someone like you keeps following me around, people will start 
|questioning my character too. Honestly, you're a worthless human being. You have 
|zero value. You'd be doing society a favor if you just disconnected from life and 
|hanged yourself. Seriously? Go die right now. You trash. Garbage. Scum. Loser.

  What follows is a fragment without meaning, a story with no value.
       A remnant of the self-indulgent fantasies woven by fragile people
  in a world slowly dying. Unable to face their harsh reality, they drifted
                                   through dreams....

  But perhaps...

  Was there truly no meaning there?

  In order to find that answer, I will tell this story.

  A story about people...weak, ugly, yet struggling desperately to live.
