Director Statement

While the result might not be as good as expected imagining that they could do it again and would be able to rewrite the fate. In the story, Hou's fate twisted several times because of different choices. In fact, there is no such thing as "good" or "bad" choices. What matters is how we face the consequences of our choices.
