***************************

Before 10 years old, I was as same as other boys on the island. Oh, maybe there was a little different, my father was the headmaster of the school of the island, and my mother, as said by father, had died in an accident when I was 2. I could remember nothing about my mother. Only the photos on father’s desk gave me the information that how my mother looked like. We looked quite similar. The colour of our hair was same. It is a light yellow. My father had a deeper colour, just as same as himself. He was a strict man. Maybe because he was the headmaster, most children on the island were aware of him. And the adults were respectful to him. I thought it was because he was the most intelligent man here. I found I was wrong later on. The island was not big. But it was very peaceful. Kazuki and Maya and others and I usually played together after school. We ran into the forests, swam in the sea and played other games. No one had ever mentioned that he or she wanted to go out, except Maya’s sister. She once was shouting that she would go to Tokyo and become an idol. But finally she still stayed on the island, and worked a teacher in our school, which was far from her dream. At that time I didn’t know her real job, which was even much farer. I, as same as other children, just thought that we would have a beautiful teacher. And she was kind to us. That year I was 10, and so many things happened in that year.
Maybe the very beginning of everything was the broken radio. Now I even suspect how we could find such a broken radio and want to mend it. At a time I hated myself. How could I have the mending skills? If I couldn’t fix the radio, we should have sent it to the adults. Then everything would be different.
I could only remember the first part of the whole event. It was a nice day. We were all together. I had spent two days on maintenance. Kazuki called all our friends out when I told him I was going to fix it. We waited under the tree. I rolled button. At first there was no signal that showed the radio was OK, so the others went away. But Kazuki still waited for me. And then I heard a soft voice, “Are you there?” The nightmare began. I don’t know what exactly happened after that moment. When I was back to consciousness, I couldn’t open my left eye. I felt pain, though it was very slight compare with Flashback. However, I still could recall the horrible feeling now. With the right eye I saw Kazuki’s hands were bloody. Before I fell into stupor again, I heard Kazuki and my scream, and other children’s cry.
One of my eyes was blind forever. First I thought it was the worst thing that a person could have in his life. I found I had been totally wrong soon after that. Maybe because actually I was attacked by the Festum, father finally made a decision which was telling everything to me. I was taken to the Alvis after I could walk by myself. Before that I had never thought or imaged there was such a secret of our island. Under the ground of the forest, where I had played together with Kazuki so many times, there was a structure that we could never be able to image. I was told that every adult on this island knew all these things, only children didn’t know. They thought it was to protect them, or us. But when the children grow up and become adults, they would let them know. Then they have to choose their first and second career. Whether or not the young adults accept their destiny, they have to face it, because they have no other choices. And at least they have spent a colourful childhood. As a child I could not understand the whole event, but father just told me and said I had to remember it. He would give me time to accept, but I could never tell other children. Suddenly I realized why Yumiko finally stayed here. She knew the fact. I could accept everything, and as an excuse of the hurt, I stayed at home for a long time. Kazuki and Maya sometime would come, and brought me the school works. But they never stayed long time. And Kazuki felt uncomfortable when only we two alone. No one worried about my study; I was one of the top students in the grade after all. But when the semester was finished but I still didn’t want to go out, father felt something unusual. I was still in my own world. It was a terrible felt. After I knew things happened after my radio mending, I felt it was my fault to let the foe come. To wake me up, I was taken by my father to the most secret places in this island. There, I met her, my sister, Tsubaki.
I was threatened by the scene in front of my eyes. A girl was in the strange red bottle, like a doll with no life. All the things around her were machines. It was a holy place but full of horror. At first I thought that girl-like thing was something which was just girl-like. But then I heard my father’s voice: She is your little sister, Tzubaki. I had never thought I had a sister or other siblings. All people in my world before were father, friends and strangers. Even mother was a foggy figure. Then at that time I was told I had another sister, who had been in this place for at least eight years…. Whether she was conscious? I hoped not so that she would not feel painful and lonely. I turned back to father; half was of the wondering of all the tings, half was of the angry: why my sister had to be treated like this. The rest of that day all in my mind was this scene. Father said I should be aware that what I should do, which was to protect Tzubaki, and all other people on this island. He said I was born to bear this mission.
The next several night nightmares were always with me. Night by night I saw the horror scene in my dreams, and then woke up in the very morning. One night I even found myself in the bottle which was full of a red liquid, watching my father taking a person and telling something. But this situation did not last long, though my mental situation seemed to be much worse. I have believed that Tzubaki had her own mind at that time, though father described her as a kind of festem. Because one night I met her in my dream, and she told me something that I couldn’t recall when I woke. But I felt calm after that. It seems that I suddenly realized what I should do was to protect everyone, especially her, my sister who had suffered so much and would suffer more. I said this to myself, and then asked father, what I could exactly do.
The next day I formally became a member of Alvis.

Days flow like water. Time flies while no one notices. I went back to school, and after school I worked in the secret structure under the ground. I learnt how to operate all the monitors in CDC, everything about the island, the history of human beings and, all things about Fafnar.
None of my friends knew all these. I became the leader of our grade. Because I always left school soon after classes were over, they thought I was a super hard working student. I seldom played with them, except sometimes I talked with Kazuli, mainly about his homework. I were only intimacy to him compare with others.
