Story
One bright afternoon, a young boy received a camera from his mother in their backyard, a gift that filled him with excitement. Eager to try it out, he began taking pictures of her as she laughed and posed playfully. Each click of the shutter captured her joy—until the final snap. In that moment, something went terribly wrong. His mother suddenly vanished, leaving behind only silence and confusion.
Before he could react, the boy was whisked away to a strange, unfamiliar time and place. He found himself standing in a dimly lit living room, where a faceless man sat alone in a chair, his identity lost to time, and even himself. The man, who had forgotten his own past, urged the boy to use the camera to chronicle his memories, warning him not to lose what was most important. With those words, the boy wakes up in a small town where all the inhabitants were faceless, just like the man.
Determined to solve the mystery of his mother’s disappearance and the strange world he had entered, the boy set off with his camera, ready to uncover the hidden truths that awaited him in this perplexing new reality.
