Your and My Asylum

Book 2: Afterword & Character Sheets

Afterword

Hello, this is Ryu Saerin. Its an honor to be able to meet you all like this once more.

Lately, Ive been playing my PS VITA.

Chaos;Child, Demon Gaze, Mystery Chronicle: One Way Heroics, etc etc. While playing these games, I promised myself that Id make this game console my only sanctuary. Thats right. Not like the Walking Dead series on Steam! As I havent played it even once during the 1 year period since I had bought it, and as I dont plan to play it for another year, that sort of back alley! I wont make the VITA into that sort of land of zombies! PS VITA is! Just for the PS VITA, Ill only buy another game after Ive already cleared the game that Ive already purchased! Sanctuary! Catacomb! My PS VITA will turn over a new leaf as a grave filled with games that have all been played!

Ironically, the term VITA means life.

As expected of VITA.

Whether its because of the ironic meaning the word VITA possesses, but despite my endeavor to turn it into a catacomb, games that Im occasionally unable to clear have started to pile up. Those are the instances where I buy games thinking theyd match my preference, but they turned out to not suit my fancy. Sometimes Id discover games that match my preferences, but if someone asked me whether the game matched my preferences perfectly, then that wasnt the case either. If anything, because they match my preferences, I end up discovering many more things about the game that feels lacking to me. A game thats able to intermesh with you perfectly. That kind of game doesnt exist in the world. It has yet to be born.

Its a sad thing.

Ironically, the term VITA means life.

Thats VITA for you.

Similar to how theres no game thats able to intermesh with you perfectly, theres no story in the world thats able to intermesh with you perfectly as well. If you want a story thats capable of intermeshing with you perfectly, then all you can do is supplement it and create the story yourself.

Its quite the sad thing, but if you think about it the other way around, then the reason why creators applied to become creators, the fact that they can eat and live due to their creations is the groundwork for that reason. Through the base of deficiency and sadness, they eat and live. If you look at it from this perspective, then a creator is a job with quite the deep sin.

At times, a truth can be born from within a vice as well. Due to all of the creators who were trying to make a story that intermeshed with themselves, a countless number of creations were born in the world. Certain stories that match certain peoples preferences were born like that, and those kinds of stories will continue to be given life.

Thats right, ironically, the term VITA means life.

Truly, VITA.

To all of you who had picked up my book. If this story was able to suit your preferences even the slightest amount, then I couldnt hope for more.

Then, please treat this story well in the next volume as well.

Have a good day.

TL Note: I honestly thought I would release this immediately after the short story, but my entire day was booked with running around and doing errands. Stress is terrible. Well, Im finally going to be able to catch a break now, so Ill probably take 1-2 weeks off before I start translating volume 3 of YaMA. If DD is announced before that time, then I may possibly delay volume 3 and wait for the next DD volume.
