Description
In our world amid chaotic global circumstances, the roles of nations, organizations, and traditions are being reexamined. In such times, some individuals lose faith in traditional beliefs and instead choose to believe solely in gods of their own creation. They worship and adore these idols, feeling a connection that surpasses even the bonds with family and friends. Clinging to and continuing to love such a faith—despite knowing it is false—may ultimately manifest their idol into reality, even endowing it with a soul. This phenomenon could perhaps be regarded as a unique form of human evolution.

混沌とした世界情勢の中、国家や組織、或いは伝統の持つ役割が改めて問われつつあります。世の中には信じられるものを失い、自ら創り出した神のみを信じる人々も居るでしょう。彼らは偶像を崇拝し、愛で、家族や友人よりも身近なものとして捉えています。その信仰が偽りであることを知りながらも縋り、尚も愛し続ける心は、やがて偶像を具現化し魂をも吹き込むでしょう。それも人類の進化の形態の一つと言えるかもしれません。
