Just one man among a thousand
Sora Umareta, a 19-year-old, reflects on his life, shaped by complex family dynamics and the betrayal of his father. Once living in a grand mansion with extended family, Sora's life took a dark turn when his father, a bodyguard to the president's wife, brought home a child from an affair, devastating the family. Despite the scandal, Sora’s mother shockingly accepted the baby as her own, but Sora found himself growing increasingly invisible and alienated within his own family. His father’s abusive behavior only intensified Sora's resentment, culminating in a deep hatred for the man who shattered their lives.
After a turbulent year marked by the assassination of the president and his son—an event that nearly claimed his father's life—Sora's father disappeared. Days later, his father's lifeless body was found among heaps of trash, sending shockwaves through the family. Yet, while everyone else mourned, Sora felt nothing but numbness, unable to cry for the man he had once wished would die.
