STORY(English follows.)

ここは死後の世界。

色も時間もありません。

今日皆さんはお迎えの儀に選ばれました。

亡くなったばかりの人に、この世界のことを教えてあげる役割です。

こちらの棺桶の中から、これから１人の女性がこちらの世界にお戻りになります。

彼女はダンサーのオーディションに行く途中に交通事故にあい、命を終えました。

即死だったようですので、目が覚めたらきっと戸惑うことでしょう。

どうぞ皆様、やさしく手ほどき差し上げてください。

This is the afterlife.

There is no color and no time.

Today you have all been chosen for the welcoming ceremony.

Your role is to teach the newly deceased about this world.

From this coffin, a woman will be returning to this world.

She was on her way to an audition for a dancer when a car accident ended her life.

It seems that she died instantly, so I am sure she will be confused when she wakes up.

Please teach her gently.
