You are Aung, a 16-year-old high school student in 2005 Yangon, Myanmar. Your life is simple and peaceful: walking to school with your best friends, the twin sisters Thida and Nila, sharing snacks, playing traditional games like *chinlone*, and enjoying the warmth of your close-knit neighborhood. But everything changes when the annual school sports festival offers a scholarship that could change your future. With Thida and Nila by your side, you form a team to compete in *htote see*, a traditional hopscotch game, setting off a journey filled with joy, struggles, and self-discovery.  

Beneath the surface of this idyllic life, however, lies a devastating truth. Your world is not real—it’s a simulation you created as the last human alive after World War III wiped out humanity in 2045. Mourning the loss of your real world, you built this peaceful digital recreation of your  to reyouthlive the happiest moments of your life.  

As the simulation unfolds, you must navigate the joys and sorrows of your imagined past while grappling with the harsh reality of your present. Will you lose yourself in this perfect illusion, or will you confront the painful truth of your existence?
