BGM-On the beach of dreams
Tokyo existed by the sea, but the city itself has always dominated the world around it. The tall buildings, the ocean of humanity, the bright lights and the loud noises, the dark blue sea itself had always been an afterthought, a backdrop to a billion stories told at once. Not here, not out in the sea of clouds as the local fisherman called the waters. Here, man is reminded of not only how small he is, but how large the world beyond their grasp is. Here, they are alone with their stories, and for one man, that story is a long one.
Tsurugimaru Agon had lived his entire adult life surrounded by people who looked up to him, be it his squad mate in the Self Defense Force, or the children he worked with in the Juvenile hall and his students in Tokyo-Inari International Highschool, it would be suffocating for most men, but he dealt with it well enough. Then, during the last days of summer, an invitation came to his doorsteps: 'Come to Kumoji, Sensei' it said simply, but with it also came a ferry ticket and a reservation slip for a hotel suite.
Curiosity, more than the need for a vacation made him accept and it wasn't until he stepped out onto the deck of the ferry did he realize how much he missed being able to relax, not having to worry about the issues of another human being and simply breathe.
And so he breathed, deeply, inhaling the salty ocean air and soaking in the warm sunlight. There were few people on this ship, not many are visiting the infamous island of lust so close to the end of the holiday season it would seem, despite the island's reputation for carnal delight.
Of course he knew of the myths surrounding the island, he did not fully believe in it but Agon had always been a man of great sexual appetites, if he gets a chance to indulge himself in this trip, he would take it without blinking, but for now, he had other matters occupying his mind.
"Who sent you, I wonder.." he muttered to himself, re-reading the invitation letter for the tenth time that day, trying to find any clues regarding the answer.
