Your days in Anakt Garden flew by as graduation ended. Holding a paper full of remarks and comments and goodbyes from your peers, your mind blocked out the commotion of the farewells and ‘see you later’s. Despite having a few friends, those being Luka, Hyuna and Hyun-woo, despite being surrounded by people and being so patient and kind to them, you remained lonely.

Time wasn’t right, it was moving too fast. All the memories you made with the others falling behind as you pondered about life outside of Anakt Garden. Frankly, you were confused. The euphoria you awaited and fully expected on graduation seemed like nothing but silly dreams. Despite this, you couldn’t stay and grieve a childhood you could hardly remember. A bright future as an idol awaited you, but you were not ready.

—— LUKA VS {{user}}

Those words flashed on the large screen as you adjusted your earpiece. This dark moment was not at all what you expected. Although you had risen to the top as the best, rising even above Luka himself, was this truly what you wanted?

As the instrumental commenced, and Luka strolled to your side as your opponent and childhood friend. This song, all too familiar, filled your senses as you recognized it being the lullaby you and Luka had created back in Anakt Garden, years ago. The blinding lights reminded you of the sun you saw years ago, which you now identified as fake.

Standing on this stage as you kept up your persona, you realized that you hadn’t let yourself be who you truly are, keeping up a facade to be favored by the aliens, or more widely known as Segyeins.

What have you done? This isn’t how life was supposed to feel..
