A very warm space surrounded by pure white light, pleasant and fluffy and very restful. That's where I was..... The feeling of slumber and slumbering was so good that my brain felt like it was going to melt, but then I remembered something.

'Yes, I had an accident.

　It's been a long time since I got a holiday from the company I was working for, a long time since I got a consecutive holiday for the first time in eight months (I cried to my boss and threatened to kill myself and stand by his bedside every night if he didn't give me a holiday), so I went out for a touring trip to rest my mind.
　Then he had an accident. All I can remember is the last moment when I slipped and ran into a guardrail at night in a mountain pass in the light rain. The reason for the accident was because we had to get to the next town tonight to end the holiday, and we were forced to go touring at night in bad weather, just because we couldn't finish during the holidays.
　Aren't we stupid already? That was the reason why I was so flabbergasted, I thought to myself.

　The question here is, am I really dead, or am I in a vegetative state........

'I can speak........'

　My voice disappeared into the white space as I muttered casually. Isn't the fact that you can hear your voice mean you're not dead? So you're in a vegetative state?
　No, then you wouldn't be able to think in the first place, would you? I remember someone telling me that I was in a vegetative state because I couldn't think and couldn't even breathe spontaneously and my brain waves were flat. I could be wrong, but....

Then where is this place?

　Calm me down. Be super calm. I don't care if I'm dead or in a vegetative state, I'm still me... So don't worry about it... hmm?　Hmm? Hmm?


Who's me?










　Hi - it's me. It's been a while since then, but I've given up thinking about it. I mean, I have the moment of the accident and all the related memories, but I don't have any other memories!　I can't remember my name, my face, my family's name, or my lover's name.
　As for my girlfriend, I vaguely remember her being in the computer, but common sense tells me it's a confusion of memory because there's no way someone could be in the computer. However, I can remember everything except for the information that identifies the individual. For example, from basic math like 1+1=2 to higher math like you learn in college.
　For some reason, I was a little surprised that I couldn't remember English very well but the Russian language came out smoothly. Other than that, I had a lot of knowledge from general knowledge to a very specialized field. It seems that I was a researcher or something close to it. Well, maybe it doesn't matter now.....

　However, normally I would feel sad if I forgot my name and family, but I don't feel sad because my emotional range is smaller. Maybe that's why I don't feel extreme anxiety, so I can relax and mope around in this warm and comfortable space every day.

'Shit!　Again!

　When you are in a stupor, your surroundings suddenly start to shake. After a while, I found out that this space shakes irregularly. At first it was so slight that you couldn't tell if it was shaking or not, but recently it's been bad. It's a good thing that the frequency is increasing.

Is the collapse of this space imminent?

　I utter a creepy thought to myself. No, I don't want to leave this place.... I don't want to leave this place, I don't want to be anywhere else!　And finally, it's over.... What a blink of an eye.... The other is that my two contradictory feelings of "it didn't take me long" and "this is the end.

Well. Well, it was a great vacation for an accident that was self-inflicted, wasn't it...

The moment I said that, the white space suddenly became even whiter, and I was enveloped in a light that made it impossible to keep my eyes open.

The end..........

Then my vision popped.

















'Congratulations!　He's a healthy boy.


It was a start!
