The story begins on December 6, 2026.
"I step out lightly and merrily on the open road
I am healthy, I am free, the world lies before me
The long brown road
Lies before me
Pointing wherever I wish to go
From this moment on
I no longer hope for happiness
I am happiness itself
I like all I encounter
I accept everything
From this moment on
I am without limits
I set myself free
I go wherever I wish to go
I am wholly and absolutely my own master"
-- Walt Whitman, Song of the Open Road
A selfless giver who pretends to be selfish, the pursued × a selfish taker who pretends to be selfless, the pursuer
