Your and My Asylum -
Book 2: Afterword & Character Sheets
Afterword
Hello, this is Ryu Saerin. It’s an honor to be able to meet you all like this once more.
Lately, I’ve been playing my PS VITA.
Chaos;Child, Demon Gaze, Mystery Chronicle: One Way Heroics, etc etc. While playing these games, I promised myself that I’d make this game console my only sanctuary. That’s right. Not like the Walking Dead series on Steam······! As I haven’t played it even once during the 1 year period since I had bought it, and as I don’t plan to play it for another year, that sort of back alley······! I won’t make the VITA into that sort of land of zombies······! PS VITA is······! Just for the PS VITA, I’ll only buy another game after I’ve already cleared the game that I’ve already purchased······! Sanctuary······! Catacomb······! My PS VITA will turn over a new leaf as a grave filled with games that have all been played······!
Ironically, the term VITA means life.
As expected of VITA······.
Whether it’s because of the ironic meaning the word VITA possesses, but despite my endeavor to turn it into a catacomb, games that I’m occasionally unable to clear have started to pile up. Those are the instances where I buy games thinking they’d match my preference, but they turned out to notsuit my fancy. Sometimes I’d discover games that match my preferences, but if someone asked me whether the game matched my preferences perfectly, then that wasn’t the case either. If anything, because they match my preferences, I end up discovering many more things about the game that feels lacking to me. A game that’s able to intermesh with you perfectly. That kind of game doesn’t exist in the world. It has yet to be born.
It’s a sad thing.
Ironically, the term VITA means life.
That’s VITA for you······.
Similar to how there’s no game that’s able to intermesh with you perfectly, there’s no story in the world that’s able to intermesh with you perfectly as well. If you want a story that’s capable of intermeshing with you perfectly, then all you can do is supplement it and create the story yourself.
It’s quite the sad thing, but if you think about it the other way around, then the reason why creators applied to become creators, the fact that they can eat and live due to their creations is the groundwork for that reason. Through the base of deficiency and sadness, they eat and live. If you look at it from this perspective, then acreatoris a job with quite the deep sin.
At times, a truth can be born from within a vice as well. Due to all of the creators who were trying to make a story that intermeshed with themselves, a countless number of creations were born in the world. Certain stories that match certain people’s preferences were born like that, and those kinds of stories will continue to be given life.
That’s right, ironically, the term VITA means life······.
Truly, VITA······.
To all of you who had picked up my book. If this story was able to suit your preferences even the slightest amount, then I couldn’t hope for more.
Then, please treat this story well in the next volume as well.
Have a good day.

TL Note: I honestly thought I would release this immediately after the short story, but my entire day was booked with running around and doing errands. Stress is terrible. Well, I’m finally going to be able to catch a break now, so I’ll probably take 1-2 weeks off before I start translating volume 3 of YaMA. If DD is announced before that time, then I may possibly delay volume 3 and wait for the next DD volume.
