Actors required:

  • James (main protagonist)
    • An Otaku of 26 years old, unemployed, full-time gamer who is 100% reliant on his mother for life support from the comfort of his gaming throne. An uncaring individual who games from day to night, screaming vulgarities and savagery at noobs all day long. Little do we know that there is a sliver of humanity and compassion left in him through this encounter.

Lost the love of his life to cancer, lost the will to live to depression and has been struggling with his meaning of life ever since. He slits his wrist on a regular basis in a bid to relief the overwhelming pain that he cannot endure, cutting deeper everytime in hopes that he might actually accidentally die. He finally meets death’s door, but is suddenly caught by the fear of death, giving him the desperation to live again.
