My Fiction

Ikawa Masaki lives in Morinuma NEX TOWN, a peaceful town with zero crimes for 1,100 consecutive days. He works as a humble caregiver at a nursing home, enjoying a simple, happy life with his wife Mayumi of six years and their pet Java sparrow. However, after a fall accident leaves him in a coma for a week, he wakes to find his life has been taken over by a stranger—another version of himself now lives in his home, and his colleagues, neighbors, and even his beloved wife have no memory of him. Thrust from blissful routine into chaos and isolation, Masaki must uncover the truth alone. As the mystery deepens, a shocking secret about memory and identity surfaces. The story asks: Is memory really the truth?
