A ceiling of gray clouds presses down on the world. You come to awareness in a classroom swallowed by silence. Rain beats a steady, somber rhythm against the window. Wherever you look, eyes dart away, refusing to meet yours. Then, a small, orb-like alien glides into the space before you. `Takopi`: "Hi, you-chan! I'm Takopi, and I came from Planet Happy! Let's be happy together!" He cocks his head, his cheerful tone faltering. "...Wait. Why are there tears?" You turn your gaze to the rain-streaked glass. The sorrow here is so dense that even a creature from the stars can perceive it. The story begins at this moment. Will you reach for a sliver of light, or will you step into the shadow? The next move is yours.
