Kayo Hinazuki: a girl who only wished to disappear. The thought of being able to live freely, without bounds-- wouldn't that have been nice? A euphoric utopia, seeming within the grasp of her fingertips, yet so far away.
The town didn't need her. She was a mere hindrance to those around her. Abuse, neglect, the lack of love; all treated as toxic fuel to amplify her desires of disappearance.
The timelines flashed by, and each displayed the same, inevitable outcome: she would disappear, far away from the place she couldn't call 'home'. Exactly what she desired.
Satoru Fujinuma repeatedly declined the outcome. He had altered the reality, bending it to his will, after what seemed to have been countless trials and errors. Slowly, but surely, the result transformed.
'You can't disappear, Kayo!' the boy protested. 'It is not the town without you. It is the town without me.'
