Dear Youka,


    Happy birthday kiddo! Please take a large drippy marker, scribble with it all over this letter, snip the paper into tiny pieces and throw it in the bin. I don’t want anyone other than people like us to know this is an autobiography. If someone else asks, tell them it’s one-hundred percent fictional.


    You might be confused as to what I’m talking about. Well, it’s that book you asked me to write almost a year ago. I hope you like this. It’s your birthday present.


    Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more. This is the story of the boy who lives in two worlds at the same time.


    Enjoy.


    Your secret-keeper,


    Tahro Akagi.
