Signed Sands

A scapegoating incident led Aito Sasaki to flee to the Province of Cebu, specifically to his beachside villa in Olango Island, for a three-month hiatus from his line of work.

Once he found a chance to intimidate the children, he found them sitting under a tree with a young man who cannot speak. His delicate hands moved gracefully in the air.
