Chapter 1 - Intermission 1

Scene: A dream.

Ames
Your story is finally beginning, huh. Whether it'll come to a bad ending, or a happy ending, only the gods know.

Ames
Though, to be honest, given the fact that you've been thrust so suddenly into this situation... I think you might end up overwhelmed this way, so I'd better fill you in.

Ames
That's what these intermissions where I can talk to you are for. To you, these are something like dreams, so you'll forget them pretty quickly.

Ames
But I expect that a little bit of them should stick with you, so we'll go ahead and have a chat. ... So then, we'll start with the prologue.

Ames
The memoryless protagonist -- that's you -- and your attendant, Kokkoro, about a month ago, started staying in a hotel while earning a living in Landsol.

Ames
And, as for the people aside from Kokkoro, such as Pecorine and the others... You parted ways with them before starting your stay at the hotel. They live in the same town, though, so it seems that you see them from time to time.

Ames
During that time, you came to know a lot of girls. If I were to count, I'd say probably at least 40. After talking and getting to know each other, you became better and better friends.

Ames
Huh, you don't have any memories of that? Is that really so?

Ames
Try hard to remember. If you make a serious effort to search for and regain those memories, you should be able to find the stories of your meetings and interactions with those girls.

Ames
In their dialogue, even though you'll hear words that you've never heard before, perhaps once you've heard them once, you'll be able to learn their meanings.

Ames
Through that information, your experiences will combine together... You'll find that you're inextricably intertwined with the this world's mysteries, which you will have to unravel.

Ames
You live for your own sake, of course. But you also live exactly for the sake of this world, which has become distorted and strange.

Ames
... Ah, I shouldn't go on and on like this at the very beginning. I'll end this this long conversation now. Go on and live your story to the fullest.

Ames
And should you ever lose your way in this life, I'll get you on the right track.

End of dream.
