Narrative premise
Set five years after the emergence of telepathy, the plot begins on April 1st, 2236 A.D. with 99 unread e‑mails from a single sender. Yotsuba encounters a non‑telepathic girl and later finds a Phillips‑head screwdriver in his yard.
The screwdriver leads him to a nearby abandoned manor where he discovers “the thing that humanity has denied.” The story asks whether the past or the future is longer, framing the game as a personal reflection.
