It is four in the morning again. Before sleep takes me, I want to speak about the recent Masami Kurumada incident—an event that struck a deep chord in me. From the complaints and reports currently available, it appears to be a major case involving the long‑term misappropriation of company funds. But for Kurumada, it is likely far more than a mere financial loss. It is a betrayal by someone he trusted for years. It may take him a long time to emerge from that shadow. And then

I've been going through my creative notes, and this one still unsettles me. While the AI was evaluating GHOST INDEX(老鬼), we fell into a fierce argument over a single question: was Qin's destruction of the Six States an invasion, or a unification? At the time I was writing from the standpoint of civilizational history.

First, it must be acknowledged that the concept of Backrooms is exceptionally strong. It began with a single photograph, spread through social media, and eventually culminated in the K‑version film by Kane Parsons. A remarkably classic—and genuinely inspiring—success story. The core of Backrooms’ horror can be expressed in one word: the unkn

I wrote a great many words, and then deleted them all. The moment I realized none of them would change anything, a wave of futility washed over me. But I will write anyway. As I’ve said before, I owe myself that much. I believe this: In any place where human labor is cheap, human life will be cheap as well.
