Chen Yan lay in a forest where an icy wind howled. He struggled to break free of his swaddling, raised a tiny middle finger at the pitch-black sky, and cried, "Waaah! (Screw you!)"

Many years later, the players in the Black Mirror World suddenly noticed a weirdo among them.
The village chief, gloomy and terrifying, whom everyone else approached with caution, got a casual greeting from him: "Hey, Great-Uncle!"
The old woman at the inn who sharpened her knife in the middle of the night, terrifying everyone else, was greeted by him as he appeared in ducky pajamas, yawning and whining: "Great-Grandma, I want a midnight snack."

Everyone: ...
Everyone: I don't believe you. You old coot, you're full of tricks.
Theme: Even when trapped in a mire of misunderstandings, keep looking toward the light.
