Author's Note

In Strato, purity is the most important aspect of its residents. A high member of the Columns, Nectarine, spends his time with his acquaintance, Strawberry. The two have known each other for many years and are soon faced with a trial when Nectarine is sent out on a mission. Not only does he witness impurities of the outside world, but he questions his own purity. Strawberry on the other hand, doesn't seem to mind keeping his secret safe.
