War will happen, we live in an endless cycle. The end of civilization occurs over and over, in Ancient Sumeria, the Persians, the Canaanites, The Mayas, The Ancient Greeks, and Romans... and soon us.

The translator from the source I read "Kyuusai No Hi" wrote some incredible thoughts.

"THE NISHIOKA PROTAGONIST SHOWS US SOME UNEXPECTED SIDES TO HIM.
THERE ARE TWO SUCH SCENES THAT FOLLOW.
WHEN HE ENCOUNTERS THIS "SALVATION" THAT HE SHOULD'VE KNOWN BEFOREHAND DIDN'T EXIST AND WHEN THE "FUTURE" POINTS OUT THAT HE "NEVER HAD ANY LOVE FOR THE WORLD," THE MAIN CHARACTER IS "SUDDENLY OVERCOME WITH AN EMOTION THAT WAS NEITHER EXACTLY ANGER OR SORROW." ... HE REJECTS "SALVATION," TURNS HEEL ON HIS OWN, AND "FOOLISH" THOUGH IT MAY BE, BEGINS TO WALK TOWARDS THE "PAST CALLED THE PRESENT." IT'S NOT WISDOM OR PURPOSE THAT SPUR HIS STEPS FORWARD, BUT IT'S INSTEAD "FOOLISH"NESS THAT PRESSES HIM ON.

HE'S GRASPING SOMEWHERE ONTO THE ACT OF BEING A FOOL, BUT HE'S ALSO LEARNED OF THE NOTHINGNESS AND THE IMPASSE OF "THE PAST CALLED THE PRESENT." WAR WILL HAPPEN, AND WHILE AWARE THAT EVERYONE WILL BE AT THE WHIMS OF THE WORLD, HE STILL PACKS HIS BAGS AND LEAVES. WHERE WILL HE GO, AND WHAT HAS HE DECIDED TO DO WHEN HE KNOWS THAT SUCH BEHAVIOR ON HIS OWN IS FOOLISH? IS HIS DEPARTURE A WANDERING? AN ACTION? AN ESCAPE? OR PERHAPS A SUICIDE? AND JUST HOW MUCH DIFFERENT IS THE FOOLISHNESS OF KNOWING THAT YOU ARE BEING FOOLISH AND THE FOOLISHNESS OF JUST MERELY BEING A FOOL?

WHATEVER IT MAY BE, THE PROTAGONIST REFUSES "SALVATION" FROM "THE FUTURE" AND LEAVES ON A JOURNEY "INTO THE NIGHT." "

I definitely recommend this, the authors "Nishioka Kyoudai" have written some incredible works. Thank you!
