At the same time in a courtyard on the eastern side:
The bright moon hung above while several simple dishes laid on a small rectangular table that sat under the shadow of a tree. The food had turned cold already but it was completely untouched.
A man had just finished showering and slowly walked toward the table in his loose pajamas. His gaze was fixed to some point in the sky and his expression was dazed, as though he'd traversed through time and fallen into some distant memory…
On a wall overgrown with moss, a girl dressed in clothes redder than fire brazenly and arrogantly invaded his world…
"What? You're saying no one likes you? That's too coincidental—my name is No One!"
"Unsuitable? Nonexistent! I'm suitable for all occasions!"
"Hey? Can you lend me something? Lend me a kiss, 'kay? I'll definitely return it to you!"
…
"Ninth Brother… Ninth Brother… Ninth Brother?"
