Synopsis
A first person narrative novel. I died and was kicked out of the cycle of reincarnation because of the sin I made. An angel told me that I won a lottery and he gave me a chance to remember the sin. My spirit possessed the body of a 14 year old boy Makoto, who committed a suicide and I tried to recollect my memory. I felt distressed by the terrible circumstances of Makoto and the fact that I was borrowing his body. I started to realize that people are hurting each other because the world is too colorful to distinguish the true color of themselves from others’.
