"From the moment I was born, I've had the same dream every day, where the same day repeats itself endlessly."
"What did you do in your dream?"
"Robbed banks, blew up buildings, flirted with girls, joyrode in luxury cars... Since it was a dream, naturally, I did a lot of lawless things."
"Tell me about your dream last night."
"Yesterday was quite interesting. After dreaming for so long, it was the first time I dreamed about someone I know in real life. She was a very beautiful girl..."

"All I know is that you died in an alley in 2024, and the police couldn't figure out your cause of death or who the murderer was. When they found you, your body was decapitated."


"If I knew who killed you, I would definitely tell you; after all, it wasn't I who killed you... Why would I protect her? But in reality, I truly don't know who the murderer is. Even after a very long time, the police never solved the case or found the killer."
