I am Grigorij Rasputin.
It's been a year now.
A year since it happened.
The calamity.
The unexplained disappearance of half of the world's population.
If we were in a fantasy world, or something similar, it could be explained in tons of ways: poison, high scale magic cast by a dark lord, a demon lord’s doing…
In a steampunk world, they might just have decided to go elsewhere and not care about the disappearance. After all, steampunk technology does not help to locate people, and it globally is made to revere technology, not h

I'm 6 years younger than my brother, who's 16. It's morning, and I am having my breakfast while watching TV. Today, on the news, they are again talking about the calamity… Oh, and a forest fire.

For the anecdote, at the time, I was tired of writing sad shit, and I saw the direction it was going to take, so I ended it extremely early, as I wanted to quickly go to something else. At least it was how I saw it, but in fact, I think it was an early sign of the burnout I'd have soon after, which had me stopping volume 9 after only a chapter and a half, and globally going into hiatus for 2 years. Even to me, volume 8 felt extremely rushed despite having good ideas, so I feel really bad about it. I think it's the first volume I will write a continuation of, as it is the most rushed. I don’t remember what D.D. stands for, tho.

For a young woman like her, born in a rich family and used to being treated like a princess, these people were more disgusting than cockroaches. -Hey! I'm talking to you! He seemed to be drunk.

I hid in the clouds to go past the city's borders, and entered the imperial grounds from the air.I sneaked into the palace, and eventually found her.She was heavily guarded.It wasn't for security, but more similar to safekeeping.

Sadness, nostalgia, and pain. I could think back forever about whether I could have done something. "If only", right? But it isn't realistic. Instead, I lose myself in my memories.
