It was afternoon when Daisuke Kojima's father, Masamune Kojima arrived.
Masamune Kojima looked very dispirited. He was almost 50 years old, but with a head full of white hair, he looked about 60 or 70 years old instead. There was exhaustion in his eyes where his expression had simply gone numb, and upon hearing that his son had gone missing, his body faltered. In an instant, his eyes darkened, but the fact that the word used was 'missing' still gave him a sliver of hope, however slim that hope was.
After all, he had already been missing for two days. If he was safe, he would definitely have called to let him know everything was okay, or he would have returned to Kobayashi Village.
Yet even now, there was no news at all…
