「 Can you teach me how to be happy? 」 Fujiwara Ao has been living the past nineteen years of his life in ease. Born with the ideal background and blessed with enough talent, that's what most of the people presume. In their eyes, he was simply nothing more but a rich, unsociable, and self-centered person. But what they don't know, however, is that the truth is farther than expected. In reality, Ao has been abandoned. Suffering from a personal tragedy that until now continues to haunt him, he was shunned by his family and left on his own. Ever since then, he learns to separate himself from others. As each day passes in a monotonous cycle, Ao finds no more warmth nor color to his world. Then one day, Hashimoto Rie enters his life. Stubborn, eccentric and enigmatic, Rie ends up pulling Ao to her side and urges him to see through an invisible kaleidoscope that alters his perception of the world entirely. And like that, everything has changed. But change... doesn't necessarily mean that it's always for the best.

لم تكن مارين هالدِر أكثر من فتاةٍ عادية، عادية بمقاييس مختلفة، مرت بتجاربها الخاصة، وصقلت شيئًا فريدًا بيديها الموهوبتين حتى وصلت إلى مرحلتها الأخيرة من الثانوية، لكن تجارب مارين لم تنتهِ كما ظنّت، إذ كُتِب لها أدوار مسبقةٌ في مسرحيةٍ لم تخترها، مسرحيةٌ سيئةٌ لم تكن فيها إلا كومبارس، شخصيةٌ جانبيةٌ بلا أسطرٍ تقريبًا. إلا أنها تكتشف مكانًا خارجًا عن المألوف، أشبه بالخيال هو وصاحبه الغامض، فسرعان ما يمسي سرها الصغير، وجزءًا لا يتجزأ من حياتها اليومية، حياتها التي توشك أن تنقلب لأسباب عديدة، أهمها النسيان، وكل ما يخفيه من تداعياتٍ خلف بابه العتيق. في هذه المسرحية أقنعةٌ عديدةٌ متقنةُ الصنع، وعلاقات هشةٌ تمسي على المحك، وشخوصٌ ما كان يفترض أن تتقاطع طرقها في أحلك الكوابيس، لكن الدمى تواصل حركاتها على خشبة المسرح، متجهةً، شاءت أم أبَت، إلى ما كانت تهرب منه، إلى الباب الذي خبؤوا وراءه كل شيء. أدب المراهقين، خيال. تنويه: تحتوي القصة على أفكار وأساليب انتحارية صريحة/أذى للنفس قد لا تُناسب بعض القُراء.
