Prologue

Ryan Mellain wants to know if it is possible to live two completely differently lives.
Ryan Mellain also wants to know if it is possible to recognize someone you once saw four years ago for the amount of time that allowed a short conversation.
And, last but not least, Ryan Mellain wants to know why he has to become closer to Alfred Romine in the most generic way possible; by saving his life.
It's hard enough having to put up with his given tail and his obsession with the sea. Why does Al get to make it any harder?

It's never fair, is it?

And sometimes it feels like the moon is falling down.
