The setting is Japan in the large city of Tokyo, 1995. There was a boy lying on the ground from complete loss of energy, he hadn't eaten in days. He tried getting up but he fell over on to his back, he then looked at the sky and began to think.
"Is this, what dying is like? It's so lonely and painful……." he said to himself as he began to close his eyes expecting never to open them again. Suddenly the boy heard a voice, a calm soothing voice.
"Can you hear me little one? Are you alright?" the boy then open his eyes to see an adult man standing over him. "Oh thank goodness, I thought you were dead for a second. Where are your parents?" said the man
"Gone…… I don't know where they are" replied the boy as he began to tear up.
"No don't cry I know where you can stay. I work in an orphanage, you'll feel right at home there, but that's up to you. Do you want to come with me?" The boy nodded and tired to stand up but couldn't, so the man picked him up and put him on his shoulders as he began to walk for the orphanage. "By the way I didn't introduce myself, I'm Don Yamashiro. I was born in Japan but raised in America, so what's your name?" asked the man.
"My name's Takuya…….Takuya Amano….." said Takuya and he passed out in exhaustion.
"Well, he fell asleep did he? That's okay, you'll be welcome and who knows maybe you'll be adopted. I just hope you don't stumble on to the lab that me and my partner were working on……but I'll tell you when you're ready" Don said to himself and he continued to carry Takuya to the orphanage.
