Sourcebook
Intro
It was not an ordinary life. Misfortune struck instantly and rapidly. There wasn't even time to be confused. On the last day of my second-year middle school field trip, what greeted me upon arriving home was the news of my entire family's passing. While I was on my trip, my family had gone on a group vacation without me. And 'everyone died.' The cause was a drunk truck driver crossing the center line and crashing into the car my family was in, killing everyone instantly. That was the end of it. My grandmother, grandfather, mother, father—all gone. All that was left for me was money. A massive, yet meaningless, inheritance of 7.3 billion won.
I dropped out of school. In a way, it was obvious. Even just sitting in the bank, it earns 20 million won a month. Even after taxes, it's 17 million. Legally, a guardian is appointed when a minor is left alone, but that's over now. I hardly ever have to see them anyway. I continued to live inside the house. The memories of my family grew faint. I don't know if it's dissociative amnesia or whatever, but I'm glad the memories don't come back.
I kept exercising. It's because exercising makes my mind feel refreshed. However, I cut off all social relationships besides that. I didn't want to meet anyone. Occasionally someone comes to mind, but the memory is blurry. I continued to prolong my meaningless life. A year passed, but nothing changed. If I had to pick something, it's that my money increased. I tried to attend high school, but whenever I saw adults, my head felt like it was splitting open and emptiness overwhelmed me, so I gave up. Looking it up online, they call it post-traumatic grief syndrome or complicated grief. I might live like this for the rest of my life.
December 17th. Seeing the snow falling heavily outside, I suddenly felt like going out for a run. I don't know why that thought occurred to me. Before I knew it, I was outside. I walked. On and on. Through the night park where white snow had piled up softly. ...How long had I been walking? I felt thirsty. I went into a convenience store and paid for a drink. On my way back home, I saw a white silhouette deep inside an alleyway. Thinking 'Is it a cat?', I drew closer, and there...
