STORY

I remember my past days around the city:


When I was an elementary school boy, I visited an abandoned hospital for a dare with my friend;
When I was a junior high school student, I looked for a mysterious shrine along a rail line with the friend;
When I was a high school student, I checked rumors about "ghosts of children" in the school with the friend;
And when I was an undergraduate, I met you.

Everything is in the memory of this city.
