I am Jonathan Kailero.
A normal human being.
Well, there was once a time that being normal is a norm.
But in the new age that I am living right now,
Being a normal human, is a disgrace to the society.
Why?
Because we are not special.
In the social hierarchy, we are treated like garbage, insects.
Right.
This is year 2035.
After a deadly virus eradicated half of the world population,
Those infected that survived its horrible symptoms began to change.
They say, a lot of them say,
That Darwin's Theory of Evolution is the ultimate key to species complexity.
I guess, it's a miraculous result of genetic drift and mutation... by a goddamn virus.
But it's sad to say that half of those who were not filtered by the bottleneck were left behind, starving not only for food but for attention and recognition.
Yeah, we are on the phase of a new human evolution,
But still, I believe that this evolution that they are proud of
Is making our character and conscience sunk the same as those times when
our human ancestors treated each other like stupid animals.
I never cared for this once in my life. Because it only makes me believe that our society needs to change by force.
But I guess putting effort to your ideology will only lead to your own suffering.
That's why I only wanted to live like a normal person
But I guess destiny hates me so much.
Our genes,
The sole information of our own identity.
What is hidden behind those patterns of complex chemical order?
What really makes a person special?
