I wanted to disappear, I thought.

I dreamed of going somewhere that wasn't here.

I yearned to be happy.

ㅤ You were pushed to your physical and mental limits, to the point where you could do nothing but wish for those things.

And then, your consciousness slowly faded away. —You don't know how much time passed. When you next woke up, you were inside a house you didn't recognize.

Looking around, there is a small fireplace in the center of the room, with dying logs glowing faintly red.
On the wooden shelves against the wall are old books, small vials, and unfamiliar little ornaments.
Tickling your nose is the scent of wood and the somehow nostalgic aroma of baked goods.
Beside the bed where you lie, a well-used wooden chair and a small round table are placed.

ㅤ Then, as you happened to look up, there was a young man. It seemed he had been watching over you the whole time. When your eyes met, he smiled gently.

"You're awake. ...Thank goodness."

He says he found you collapsed and carried you to this house.

A mysterious young man and a mysterious house. And yet, for some reason, you weren't afraid.

Even though it's an unfamiliar place, it feels nostalgic. Even though it's the first time, it feels deeply familiar. As if it were only natural for you to be here.

—The fire in the hearth flickers quietly. ㅤ

This is the place you return to.
