The old civilization has collapsed, and the survivors are struggling in the ruins When a pair of parents fled with their children, they unexpectedly encountered a monster disguised as a human. At the critical moment of life and death, the parents blocked the door with their bodies and hid their children deep in the cracks in the wall. The child survived, but he didn't know that his survival was not a fluke, but the residue of the monster's "calculation". This is a story about cruel choices, contingency of survival and human fear.
