Ever since I first decided to become an adventurer, I dreamed of becoming the best—defeating the strongest monsters, exploring the deepest dungeons, and writing my name down in history. With my extraordinary talent, I reached the top faster than I ever imagined. But why did it feel so empty? I had always been adventuring alone, without a party, without comrades, without the fun moments an adventurer should have. When I saw other adventurers laughing, bickering, and adventuring together, one thought crossed my mind— "AHHH! I'M ENVY!" Why didn't I enjoy my youth properly? Why didn't I ever find a companion on the same wavelength? Was it too late for me to experience a real journey? Unfortunately, it was all too late. I was already too old, and the end of my adventurer career was drawing near. Sigh… if only I could live my life over again… If only I could reincarnate… I would definitely fall in love and not waste my life anymore… And as I took my last breath— My wish came true.

Kita terus menelusuri dan mencari tahu motif para pelaku kejahatan, menggali emosi terdalam mereka—baik suka, duka, marah, maupun gembira. Namun, itu bukan untuk menempatkan diri kita di posisi mereka agar bisa bersimpati atau bahkan memaafkan mereka. Bukan pula untuk mencari alasan yang dapat membenarkan kejahatan mereka, bukan untuk tunduk pada kompleksitas yang disebut sebagai sifat manusia, bukan untuk merenungkan konflik sosial, dan lebih-lebih lagi, bukan untuk mengubah diri kita menjadi monster seperti mereka. Kita hanya berusaha memberikan sebuah jawaban yang adil—bagi diri kita sendiri dan bagi mereka yang masih memiliki harapan terhadap dunia ini.
