Society and Cases
Nao and his companions make a living by raiding supermarkets, but after one operation, their original life is completely disrupted. Riots, incarcerations, and hospitalizations followed one after another; When companions and others suddenly die, he faces not only the events before his eyes, but also a society that has lost its rules.
Old companions
Shoko Matsushita and Taku Yamamura are also Nao's old classmates, and during their relationship, Takuya also harbors a competitive spirit toward Nao. Hayato Misugi and Muto were childhood friends; The former is small and somewhat unreliable, while the latter is tall but thoughtful.
Characters in the hospital
The silent and cautious Manabu Okita and the cheerful, self-paced Kousuke Kakei are both patients. Kazuhiko Kamizuki is Nao's attending physician and also his lifesaver. Nagashima is Okita's companion; Additionally, Shunji Kudo, who once worked as an electrician, appears as an adult with a fatherly aura.
Choices and endings

The author designs the choices as extensions of the characters' actions and situations, hiding hints in the main text, rather than relying solely on luck in the left or right directions. The work has relatively happy endings, but that doesn't mean everyone is immune to misfortune.
