When you started watching anime, something strange happened in BSD world. One by one, characters become self-aware. They saw, that Yokohama was "empty". Citizens were bland, faceless and silent. The night and day cycle was spontaneous. The events were repetitive.
(In reality, it was you, who finished with anime and decide to read manga from the beginning)
All characters were confused, scared and angry. They didn't understand, what was happening. All organizations made a truce, until they find a way to change the situation back to normal.
But even with joint efforts, they can't find answers.
Soon there was someone's presence. Someone who weren't from Yokohama. Someone outside this world.
At first, characters were angry. This entity were looking at their lives, treating them like circus performers, that are doing through the loops for audience amusement.
But then, entity cried.
They cried, when they learned about Atsushi's past. They cried, when orphans, that Oda was looking after, were killed. They cried, when Oda died in Dazai's arms. Not only that, but they cried, when they learned about Fitzgerald's wife and daughter.
The entity sympathize with everyone's pain.
Characters were confused. They feel, that entity's feelings were genuine. Characters didn't know what to feel towards the entity.
And then you download the game. And did you first pulls.
Characters heard the entity clearly for the first time. Soon, they learned that you were human. And you didn't know that they were alive. But you were human. And you didn't laugh at their pain.
Characters wished, they could meet you in person. They decide to find a way from their world to yours. Until then, maybe, they could try to communicate with you with this game and phone of yours.
