A fallen canopy.

Fallen canopy?

Why is it my family again?

Sir, calm down.

Is there anyone else at home?

No, I'm the only damn blind man

left in this family.

Sir, we'll contact a counselor for you.

Why not call God?

Why my family again?

Why my family again?

Why don't you take me away as well?

Take me away!

Kill me! Don't leave me alone!

Our whole family already

hides humbly inside the novel.

Why can't they just let us be?

What've we done wrong?

Not enough, not colorful enough.

Let's get to work.

What happened?

Oh, no!

Underworld Express, take me to find

my Mom, Dad and brother.

Hey...

Why can't fate just let go of me?

I was driving. That makes me responsible

for my family's death.

I asked Maria to buy flowers

so she died too?

Thanks, very nice.

It's all my fault.

I shouldn't have put on this reunion.

I did all this.

My family has nothing to do with it.

The coin on its edge will drop

even if it's just touched slightly.

When the me inside the novel

crosses paths with Maria,

it will be time to wake up.

Mom.

Dad. Hubby.

Honey. Somebody Hurt!

Honey!

Honey!

Honey!

Honey, Oscar...

Honey, Oscar.

Just punish me for it,

not my family, no!

(Dad has just finished typing)

(the part about the disappearance)

(of Mom and Oscar, Melody)

(and the Underworld Express)

(As if he is bidding farewell)

(again with his family...)

(Dad holds on to the typewriter,)

(weeping in agony,)

(sitting in solitude in his chaotic home,)

(lonely and helpless...)

Mom, Oscar, please don't die!

Mom and Oscar haven't died.

Mom and Oscar haven't died...

In a novel, anything is possible.

No fate, no chances.

I challenge death,

and death takes its revenge

by taking my Mom and brother.

I can carry on writing,

and bring them back to life in the novel.

I won't give up

and I will bring them back.

Yes?

Are you looking for a domestic helper?

Can you start right now?

Yes.

I haven't eaten for days.

Make me noodles, and tidy up my house.

It's ready.

How can I eat if you don't

turn over the table?

I'm tidying up the place.

Are you blind?

Why be a domestic helper?

I'm by myself and have nowhere to go.

You're by yourself and

I want to take care of you.

How do you know I'm on my own?

Don't kick me out, let me stay.

Why do you want to stay?

How did you become blind?

A car accident when I was 12.

Who else was in your family?

My mother and brother.

When did it happen? Where are they?

Gone to another world.

Another world?

You mean dead?

Where's your father?

What's your name?

Who are you?

Hey, why don't you answer me?

Are you human, or ghost?

I'm a ghost.

I miss you and want to see you.

Melody?

Dad.

Why?
