Episode 01

Himari, a young woman of 21 years, closed the door to her small apartment after another long day at work. She is a normal office worker. She let out a heavy sigh as she kicked off her uncomfortable shoes, the weight of the world seeming to settle on her shoulders. Her small space felt even smaller as she moved through the familiar motions of changing out of her work clothes and collapsing onto her bed, the fatigue seeping into her bones. The pale light filtering through the window cast a soft glow on her face, accentuating the lines of tiredness etched there, a stark contrast to the vibrancy she once possessed. In that moment, the mundanity of her existence pressed down on her with suffocating clarity. She hated her job. She wanted to get rich without doing anything. Today, she had to do overwork that's why she was soo tired.

The next morning, following the same monotonous routine that is brushing, bathing, eating and getting dressed in her favourite office suit, Himari made her way to the train station, her footsteps echoing in the empty hallway. The usual thrum of the city was eerily absent, because she was early, it was 6 A.M., sending a shiver down her spine. As she paused to use the restroom, a sense of unease crept over her a minute later. She heard nothing. Nothing at all. No echoing of steps of other people, no laughs and no sound of anyone. Stepping out, she found herself alone, surrounded by a haunting silence. No one was there. No one... Panic clawed at her throat as she called out for anyone who might hear, but her voice was swallowed by the empty expanse before her. Fear gripped her heart, the world that was once bustling and alive now reduced to a ghostly stillness. Tentatively, she ventured back through the vacant station, the abandoned shops and quiet streets a stark contrast to the chaos of daily life she had always known. She stood in the middle of the road, dumbfounded and scared.

Amidst the unnerving quiet, Himari realized a dawning realization - the responsibility and purpose she derived from her job were interwoven with her identity, a realization that struck her with profound force. She wasn't just missing the routine of her daily life; she was adrift without an anchor, lost within the confines of her own uncertainties and insecurities. The search for answers turned into a quest for self-discovery as she delved into the recesses of her memories, the shadows of her fears and desires coming to light in the absence of external distractions.

The looming shadow of despair descended upon Himari as loneliness and isolation seeped into her very being. The realization that she may never see another soul again weighed heavily on her, a suffocating certainty that threatened to engulf her entirely. In the silence that stretched endlessly, she grappled with her inner demons, the echoes of her past mistakes and regrets reverberating in the emptiness around her. The gaping void of solitude yawned before her, a chasm she feared she would never have the strength to cross.

With a steely resolve born of her newfound understanding of her own strength and resilience, Himari faced the bleak landscape of her solitude head-on. Drawing on the forgotten lessons of perseverance and fortitude, she forged ahead, determined to reclaim the shattered fragments of her life and rebuild anew from the ashes. Refusing to succumb to the paralyzing grip of hopelessness, she sought solace in the memories of love and connection that had sustained her through the darkest nights.

In a moment of clarity, as the ghosts of her past faded into the recesses of her mind, Himari found a wellspring of empowerment within herself. She was not defined by the circumstances that sought to confine her but by the choices she made in the face of adversity. Embracing the solitude as a crucible in which her spirit was tempered, she emerged from the crucible with a sense of purpose and a renewed zest for life. With each new step she took, she felt the weight of her burdens lift, replaced by a profound sense of liberation that filled her to the brim. Though the world around her remained a vast emptiness, within her, a spark of resilience burned bright, illuminating the path forward with unwavering resolve.

She smiled. She thought "I'm alone now... It means no work, no tension and no responsibility!" She danced in joy. She screamed in joy. She went inside convenience store and ate everything she wanted to. She changed her clothes into comfortable ones, a black hoodie and longer black shorts and white sneakers. She loved it. She loved being alone. At last, after getting tired, at 7 P.M., she sat on the road, sighing in tiredness. "Phew. Today was fun. I wanna live like this everyday." She layed on the road and closed her eyes.
