    world. (ince some time ago, I)ve thought that.

    I was born into this world to seek her, sacrificing all thethings I would have gained from a life in a new world. Thegirl made m$ bod$ from scrap she had collected fromsomewhere. *$ memor$ is stangnant. I cannot recallan$thing even if I exert effort. 'here I had been until now,or where I was tr$ing to go#I cannot talk with the girl.

    causes it. Then, where is that I dig through m$ memories.I was in a different world a long time ago#or perhaps thedistant future. I still retain the memor$ that I was oncethere.
