Episode 1

Yuuna, a girl with black hair, hime cut. She is ordinary, and there’s no better words to describe her other than that. Average height, low scores, quiet, introverted, music-addicted, draws, writes, delusional, that is all she is. Growing up in a not-so-wonderful childhood, she, surprisingly, did not become like those typical ‘bad kids’.

She likes cats, she likes the darkness, she is phone-addicted, she has anxiety, she is sometimes energetic. She is nothing more than ordinary.

She’s probably going to live an ordinary life if she didn’t find this place today. She was walking around the community casually, wearing nothing special but a plain white T-shirt with short gray skirt and a pair of slippers. Her community was small, and she usually takes a casual walk there.

She was humming a calming melody, looking around the community. There were no people around at this time, 5am in the morning. She was not a morning bird, she just hadn't fallen asleep yet until this time. She doesn’t hate the world outside, and it’s not that she loves staying indoors. She simply hates having people around.

How contradictory. She likes being alone, yet she craves attention.

She was walking around in silence until she stopped by a wall. The wall was covered by vines and roses. It was like a work of art. She walks closer to the wall to examine it closer. “Since when was there a wall like this?” She thought to herself. She doesn’t remember having such a beautiful wall in her community. Behind the wall was a river. The community often has water ballet performances that the government did to attract tourists. Yuuna was also there to watch it when she was little.

There used to be stairs at the wall for people to stand on top of the river embankment to watch the performance, but it’s nowhere to be seen now, somehow. She looks at the vines on the wall and the roses… there were spikes on the vine, but she didn’t bother enough to care about it. She puts a hand on the wall, her hands wounded by the spikes. She was enjoying this moment of silence in the morning with the beautiful wall she admired until the vines suddenly twined around her arm and pulled her in. She let out a soft yelp, thinking she’s going to get all wounded by the spikes. She closed her eyes, not wanting to face the moment when she hits onto the wall with spikes… but it didn’t happen.

Author’s chat

The main character is written based on me. The way she looks, the way she talks, everything is the way I am or the way I wanted to be. The scenarios will be based on how I imaged reality to be. Sometimes I wish I can run away from the stressful life I am in now, just like how Yuuna is pulled into a mysterious place. Ask me any questions about the book or myself, I will answer it in the next episode.
