People live in a society where humanity is classified into two categories. One is those people who are normal, and only have the ability that most humans can do. And then there is this other category, people who are special with abnormally extraordinary talents. They are those who have the potential to change the world. 

People crave glory, and they will do everything to obtain their selfish desires even if it means destroying the lives of the people who have nothing to do with them. 

This is the story of Kiyoko Sasaki, a young girl blessed with a trait that only she possesses. A talent that makes her special than anyone else. An individual who is seen by the people who are normal as someone different.

In this horrifying world where hierarchy determines the lives of every human being, what will be the fate of this young girl?

Aristocracy

Ichika cheered happily when I agreed to teach her today. Sigh… Well, I think it's not that bad at all to be with her. But I still really want my alone time. I fixed my room first before leaving, and Ichika even helped me clean my room even if there was just a little trash to clean. 


We went upstairs and entered the library. The two of us went to where the books about filmmaking are and picked some that I can teach to Ichika. We then headed to a corner of the study area and sat down.


We haven't even started yet, and Ichika is now asking me something. How many questions will she be asking me today? 


Ten times? A hundred? Or maybe a thousand? Well, if it's about filmmaking then it will be fine.


"What do you think are film directors?" Ichika asked.


"Huh? Isn't that obvious? A film director is the one who handles the artistic aspects of a film and is the one who visualizes the screenplay. Basically, a film director is a key role in every aspect of filmmaking."


"Dumbass, of course, I know those things. What I am asking you is, what do you think are film directors in your own opinion?"


A question that should be answered subjectively? Well I guess, there is no harm in telling Ichika what I think about film directors. 


I gave a short sigh and gazed at the ceiling while thinking about it. 


"I think of being a film director as being a part of a family." 


I looked back at Ichika who had her head tilted wondering about my answer to her question.


"Well just like in a normal family, everyone has their own roles that they need to do. In filmmaking, it is also the same. We have actors, scriptwriters, designers, producers, and the film director. All of them are essential in creating a film, and I believe that when all of us understand each other, we can create a masterpiece that the audience will truly enjoy."


"Oh… So that is how you are able to make amazing films. It's because you understand one another." Ichika said.


I looked at Ichika, and she have this gloominess on her face. Did I say something that might have offended her? Well, It's not like I care anyway. That is what I think of being a film director. It is up to her how she interprets my answer.


"Ichika, I have a question for you." I said.


"Are you asking me to teach you these things every day since I know a lot about them?"


Ichika is the first one who approached me to teach her about what I know in Cinematography, and Filmmaking. Sometimes, I wonder if she was just using me since I know a lot about it. It even makes sense because she even forced me to teach her even if I wanted to take a break today.


 "Huh? What are you talking about? You're weird, Asahi. Of course, I am asking you to teach me these things since you know a lot about them."


Figures… What answer did I even expect from someone like Ichika?


"But… At first, that was my only reason. But as time goes by, sometimes I just want to hang out with you."


I never expected that kind of answer from her. Now I feel bad for acting irritated at her earlier when she kept on insisting that I should teach her things today. Hmm… 


"Hey, do you have feelings for me?" I asked.


"Sorry… Now let's get back to studying, Ichika."
