"Lovell" 【 Content Introduction 】

Four people who didn't look like each other, with different bodies and different names, lived my life. What do I have in common with the light-haired boy from the village of Rukino? Memories? But the longer I live, the more my memories seem fanciful to me. I no longer believe in them, so they no longer connect me with those who were me at different times. Life is like a Mosaic, and it falls into pieces. Will my freedom from memory be my forgiveness and redemption?
