    Summary

    Diluc holds fond memories of game nights with his father and friends. It was one of few times when responsibilities fell away, and the children were allowed to act their age, romping around a fantasy world of Master Ragnvindr's creation.

    Five years later, a weathered journal in his father's office brings three old friends back together.

    Summary

    In one world, Kim Dokja listened to his mother and read the story again. He devoured the same words over and over again until they were embedded into his retinas, until the stories made a home in his brain and stayed there. He consumed books like they were his lifeline and they gave him the motivation to live just one more day, until he found something else worth living for.

    In that world, Kim Dokja found a family that he loved and a family that loved him back, but only after years of suffering and heartbreak and constant sacrifices that he was always happy to make. In that world, Kim Dokja may have been an only child, but he found his family and he was, first and foremost, a reader.

    But this is not that world.

    In which Kim Dokja learns to hate reading, but he still manages to find his protagonist.
