The Map of the Soul: that's the only hint I had. I hadn't heard that before now. They were quite unfamiliar. I had no idea what to do with it, let alone what it actually meant.

I needed a starting point. I had hoped that the 'map of the soul' would've been that starting point. I was wrong.

I went around in circles no matter how hard I tried. I did tons of research. Everything slipped through my hands like grains of sand.

Now that I look back at what happened, what happened then was the same now.

"Do you think you can fix all your mistakes and save everyone?"

I had no idea that, by agreeing to those words, I would suffer as I was now.

I turned away from the books I was browsing through and exited the used bookstore. Cherry blossoms brushed past me as I reached the alley and took the stairs.

Deja vu hit me then. I felt like I'd been here before. I turned to look at the bookstore's basement entrance. It was dark. I couldn't even see the sign.

Maybe it wasn't the same bookstore...maybe I was confused. I'd been to many bookstores and libraries, trying to look for a clue as to what 'the map of the soul' entailed.

I couldn't say much about what I'd found. I'd flipped through biographies, the internet...the list goes on. Maybe during my search I'd stumbled upon this bookstore.

My car was parked at the alley's entrance. I started the car.
But I didn't really know where I was going.
