    Summary

    There is something amusing about how people react to the word "catastrophe." For most, it is distant, abstract – existing only in news reports or films, where the hero always survives. Reality is more prosaic. Catastrophe is when the life you carefully built crumbles because chance or fate simply wasn't on your side. All that remains is to run. Sign dubious contracts with absurd numbers of zeroes, bid your family farewell, and awaken somewhere unknown, surrounded by people discussing humanity's salvation as if it were a grocery list.

    Source: me, Hikigaya Hachiman, professional loner and voluntary outcast, somehow the fiftieth candidate for Master in an organization called Chaldea. Fiftieth out of fifty. The last one. An outsider even on a list gathered to prevent the end of the world. There is a dark poetry to that, if you think about it.

    But then again, one thing at a time...
