Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about this world, especially ’bout a man named Asuma. He wasn’t just any regular person. No, no. He had a whole lotta stuff happenin’ in his life. Poor thing, he never even saw it comin’.
So, Asuma, he’s part of somethin’ big, somethin’ called “Good Night World”. Sounds nice, right? But don’t let that fool ya. Ain’t nothin’ nice about it. It’s a world full of twists and turns, and not the kind where you get a free ride. Naw, this world plays with your mind, your life, and sometimes, even your soul.
Now, I’m tellin’ ya, it ain’t just the world that’s a problem. It’s also the folks who are mixed up in it. Take Ichi, for example. Ichi’s a good boy, always runnin’ around tryin’ to fix things. But there was this one time, when he went into the Birdcage, a place that sounds like a fancy birdhouse but ain’t, to save his brother. Asuma, you see, was in there, stuck between life and death. Ichi was askin’ if he’d give up his life to save his brother, but boy, that was a trick. A lie, really. You see, Ichi had no idea what he was walkin’ into, and neither did Asuma. But don’t think it was just about savin’ a life. Oh no, it was bigger than that.
Asuma Arima, that’s his name, but he goes by other names too. It’s like he was tryin’ to hide from the world, or maybe it was the world tryin’ to hide from him. His family had their troubles, just like most families do. His father, Kojirō, and his mother, Sayaka, well, they weren’t around to fix things. Not in a real way anyway. And then, he had his older brother, Taichirō, and his twin sister, Aya. Poor Aya, she didn’t even make it to the end of the story, but we’ll get to that later. Asuma, he was stuck in this messed-up game, where things don’t really work like they should.
Now, this game called “Planet”? It’s like a dream, a game where folks try to fix things in their broken lives, but it ain’t all peaceful. Some folks get stuck in it. Take Pico, for example. Pico got killed in the game, but then, he didn’t just disappear. Naw, he got stuck in the Birdcage too, just like Asuma. It was like a trap, a cage that never let ya out, no matter how hard ya tried.
But here’s the real kicker—this whole Birdcage thing? That was where all the experiments were takin’ place. You think you’re savin’ someone, but in reality, you’re just part of a bigger plan. A plan that don’t care for who gets hurt along the way. Ichi, bless his heart, didn’t know that. When he copied himself to save his brother, the AI version of him, well, it had to live out its life in that cage too. It wasn’t just about Asuma anymore. It was about everybody who got caught up in that mess.
And let’s not forget about Aya. Poor girl never had a chance. She died when she was just a little one, back when she was in elementary school. It’s a sad story, one that breaks your heart. See, she forgot her notebook at school, and her daddy, Kojirō, he got real mad about it. In a fit of rage, he sent her back to get it. But that was the last time anyone saw her alive. Ain’t that somethin’? A little thing like that, just forgettin’ a notebook, and it changes everything.
Now, in this whole crazy mess, folks try to find peace, try to find a way out, but not everyone makes it. Asuma, Ichi, Pico, and even Aya—they all got caught up in this world where you don’t get to choose your own fate. You just gotta play along, whether you want to or not. It’s a place where people search for answers but might never find ‘em.
So when we say “Good Night World,” it ain’t just a phrase. It’s a reminder. A reminder that sometimes, the world ain’t as kind as we’d like it to be. Sometimes, people don’t get the peace they deserve. Sometimes, they’re stuck in places like the Birdcage or a game called “Planet” where they gotta keep fightin’ just to stay alive. And in the end, maybe the only thing left to say is “Good Night”—’cause who knows when you’ll get to wake up again.
