In the suburbs of Japan, there could be found a sleeping young man by the name of Tomoya Okazaki. Tomoya was a very average man in many respects - his spiky black hair was typical fare for the youth of modern day Japan, his strength was no greater than any other 28 year old man you'd find on the streets, and there were few talents for him to write home about - but the beautiful heart that beat inside his chest was anything but unremarkable. This young man saved many girls over the years from the pits of despair, there were many girls that would no longer be of this world were it not for Tomoya's golden heart, gallant spirit, and heroic nature.

Tragically, Tomoya was punished with a heartwrenching dream this night that somebody so kind as he should never have to bear. A lovely young girl with dark blue hair sliding a razor down her wrists, tears streaming down her cheeks the color of the First Oasis. A little girl whose name he instinctively knew as 'Taiga' trembling in the corner, whimpering pitifully as her father kicked the little doll-like girl in her sides. A young man crying himself to sleep as memories danced through his mind of the many times people rejected him, shunned him, hated him, merely because they were too scared of his bitter face to embrace his magic soul. The pain of many around the world became Tomoya's own his night...

"Hello, darling!" These were the first words that came out of the mouth of his beautiful wife, Nagisa, as Tomoya stepped inside the kitchen. Wrapping her arms around her husband, Nagisa kissed her husband on the lips a first time, a second, a third, a fourth - with Ushio gone for another high-spirited day of second grade her parents were free to do whatever she wished while they were gone, Nagisa very eager to give Ushio a little brother or sister to play with - but Tomoya's lips never responded to her own soft, full pink, he paid the woman no more mind than the cat rubbing against his leg in a futile bid for food. "Tomoya...? What's wrong, sweetheart?"

"Nagisa..." The man's eyes shone so brightly with tears that Nagisa wondered if he could even make out her face. "There's so much pain in this world... we might have found our own happy ending, but what about everyone else? What about the rest of the world, Nagisa? I want a miracle... I want another miracle..." Tomoya collapsed to his knees, burying his face into his hands as he wept... the man soon felt his own wife's teardrops sprinkle atop his head. The silver orbs that granted Tomoya his deepest wish... Tomoya wished he could call upon their power once more...
