  2. Summary

    The world inside Kaneki Ken's head as the series progresses. Inspired by "Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World" by Haruki Murakami

    This is a little self indulgent on my part. I am playing with a different style.

    Lots of references and symbolism. Please feel free to ask me questions.

    Summary

    Joshua awakes on a beach, somewhere on Valisthea. This is unusual, because he died. He knows he did. But his brother brought him back, at the cost of his own life. Now, Joshua must struggle to reconcile the world left Clive has left behind, and find the strength to continue on.

    Some of that comes from unexpected places, and unexpected people.

    His first goal: find his way back to the Hideaway, to let everyone know that he survived. Beyond that, he's not sure. How do you continue when you've lost those closest to you?

    One step at a time.
