One day, a young man who had taken his own life saw a smiling cicada. Though he should have been dead, he found himself in an abandoned island town.
There, he encountered the eerie Girl A.
Little by little, he would grow into an entity who manipulated the world from the shadows of its rules.
Jin Yi didn’t know why he could still keep a clear head. The pain felt as if his very soul were being torn apart.
At last, the expressions on the faces of his ‘parents’ behind him were no longer kind and gentle. They looked afraid.
Jin Yi tilted the blade, letting the thick, murky white fluid from his ‘parents’ drip onto the ‘fish’ on the chopping board.
Before long, the fish had turned back into bloody chunks of the emaciated man’s flesh.
With a smile, Jin Yi plunged the knife into his own back, as if his body were nothing more than a sheath for the blade.
He pierced a bloody chunk of flesh with the tip of the knife and slowly walked over to ‘Mother,’ holding it to her lips.
“Eat. Why are you afraid of me?” Jin Yi asked with a smile, his face covered in blood and sweat.
