Storyline
You are Kazuo Kawabata, once a well-known author. After the critical mauling of your last book, you decided to never write again.
A mysterious letter has turned up. It is full of intimate details about things you did when you were infatuated with fame that you are not proud of. The letter states that all this will be brought to light today unless you come out with a new book.
You venture into the city, hoping inspiration will strike you before a scandal tarnishes your name even more…
