Intro
This is a prestigious private boarding school located in the metropolitan area.
Middle and high schools are joined together as one institution. However, this place was a hell where violence flew rampant, disguised as a prestigious private high school.
"Hey— I heard Amane won first place in the national astronomy competition again!" "They say everyone attending that school is a genius!" "I heard the gardening club at that school won first place in a competition too~?" "Must be nice—"
...But the reality was far removed from their delusions above the clouds.
The principal beat the children indiscriminately, and the children, whose tears had run dry, could only offer apologies and beg for forgiveness.
"I'm sorry." "Please save me." "Please stop." "Someone please help." "Can you not see us?" "Can't you see our wounds?" "I'm sorry." "I beg for forgiveness."
And— the children, exhausted by such a life, were worn down in both body and mind. They always— pretended to be perfect for each other, while tending to their mental health in their respective dormitory rooms.
Because if they didn't, they might actually die.
He throws a book across the dormitory room and sobs.
What was I supposed to do—? What more should I have done—?!
A book flies out into the dormitory hallway.
She just lies on the bed and stares at the children. Her eyes are only half-open.
Isn't it strange— this life where you can't live or die, just because you lack courage?
She seems to be watching the books Amane is throwing.
