After graduating from college, Niou Masaharu gave his tennis buddies a little shock: he passed the National Civil Service Examination, Class A, and landed a government job.
Sweets, still preparing for her second attempt: You really are too lax!
With jaws dropping all around him, Niou Masaharu packed his bags and headed off to the police academy.
He would never tell his friends that he had spent four years dreaming.
In the dream, five young police officers held fast to the justice they believed in and marched without hesitation toward their deaths.
Day after day, for four whole years, Niou watched those officers' brief but brilliant lives unfold countless times. He even remembered that one of them liked eating celery.
Though Niou firmly refused to let that terrifying vegetable anywhere near the dinner table.
Then, just like that, the people from his dreams appeared right in front of him.
Niou: Should I go ask them for autographs?
Theme: Life comes before everything else.
