Summary[]

Manga Ch 02 Yuji flame

Yūji seeing his flame.

Yūji Sakai woke up in his bedroom in the morning. He wished that the previous day was a dream, but saw that the flame was still in his chest. He remembered the girl telling him that he wasn't a person, but residue of the real Yūji Sakai.

Yesterday, Yūji had been shocked when the girl had said he would burn out. She explained to Yūji that a Crimson Lord had devoured his Power of Existence and he was now residue of the real person, a Torch. She explained that the purpose of Torches were to fill the holes left by consumed Power of Existence to prevent Distortions to the world by temporarily keeping the consumed existence connected to the world. She stated that when Yūji burns out, people's memories of him and traces of his existence will disappear, for he would have never existed. Yūji asked if the real Yūji Sakai was long dead, if he would disappear, and if he was dreaming. The girl left, saying that this was reality.

Manga Ch 02 Yuji checking Chigusa

Yūji checking whether his mother was a Torch.

Back in his room, Yūji was still worried about disappearing when his mother Chigusa called him down to get ready for school. He got ready quickly and went downstairs. Chigusa had made breakfast, and she said that it was unusual that he would sleep in. While they ate, Yūji checked Chigusa's chest, but there was no flame. He was relieved that his mother wasn't a Torch. Yūji wondered what would happen to his parents if he ceased to exist. He thought that it would be better to disappear instead of dying because they wouldn't be sad, but that would waste the 15 years they had spent raising him. Chigusa spoke up when he was looking dazed. Yūji looked at the time and hurried off to school. As he said goodbye to his mother, he wondered why he was so sad from a meaningless conversation.

Manga Ch 02 Yuji watches Torch

Yūji watching the Torch disappear.

On his way to school, Yūji saw a group of four young boys. Three of the boys were having a heated discussion and the other was looking dispirited. Yūji realized that that boy was a Torch. He watched as the boy disappeared and his friends took no notice, thinking that will happen to him one day.

Manga Ch 02 Girl in class

Yūji seeing the girl.

Yūji arrived at class 1-2 and looked for his friend Ike, who hadn't arrived yet. He was approached by his friends Keisaku Satō and Eita Tanaka. Satō told Yūji that there was a Japanese history test in the first lesson. Yūji tried to quickly study but he didn't know the contents of the test. He asked the girl sitting next to him, Yukari Hirai, but in her seat was the girl from yesterday. Yūji was startled out of his seat and asked her why she was there.

  • The girl (to Yūji): "When you burn out, people's memories of you and traces of your involvement will all disappear. You'll be forgotten, because you would have never existed."
  • Yūji: "I'm... the "real Yūji Sakai" is long dead...? "
    The girl: "That's right."
    Yūji: "Burn out and disappear...? ...Me?"
    The girl: "That's right."
    Yūji: "This... isn't a dream?"
    The girl: "It's just reality."
  • Yūji (thinking): "If my existence disappeared... what would mom and dad do...? Suddenly, they would have never had a child... but instead of "dying", "disappearing" might be better as I won't leave any grief behind... but even then... just for me to disappear.. the fifteen long years they spent raising me would be wasted..."
