Kingyo Oukoku no Houkai

After enjoying a lively local festival, a young girl named Mikaze returns home carrying a single goldfish she acquired during the festivities. What begins as a simple, joyful souvenir from a day of celebration soon becomes the catalyst for a profound and unsettling realization about the nature of existence itself. Through her experience with this small aquatic companion, Mikaze is abruptly confronted with a harsh truth that shatters her youthful innocence. She quickly comes to understand that the world around her is fundamentally unjust, lacking the fairness she once assumed it possessed. This quiet but devastating epiphany marks the beginning of her difficult journey into a reality far more unforgiving than she ever imagined.
