He realized that his body was beginning to slide down the slope, gently but with absolutely no resistance. However, that sensation lasted only for a fleeting moment, and then it became a fall, a slide that truly deserved the word "falling." The city lights rushed towards him all at once, like a flowing band of light. Something, something extremely important to him, pierced and flashed across his mind, one thing after another, simultaneously. ...The three years of memory lost by Daigo Yamashiro, a former newspaper reporter, in this accident. What kind of life is etched in the blank space of those lost years?
