Feeling Alone in the World

Seeing the world from a different perspective than others can be alienating, and can then make you feel as though you are alone in the world.

Cha Cha, our little platypus companion, had long been very detached from what was considered normal.

As with everyone, what he had experienced during his childhood and the environment in which he had grown up had gradually shaped what would become the foundation of his thinking and the way he understood the world.

And yet, he seemed different from the others.

For years, he had set these thoughts aside by immersing himself in various addictions that made everyday life easier to endure.

Meeting Guruko nevertheless made him realize that he was only ignoring a problem that had always existed within him, and that his addictions had merely prevented him from confronting it.

At last.

He had tried as best he could to develop his own StarDust, and seemed to understand his own Shadow much better.

But his Shadow had grown alone for years, because he had neglected it for so long.

It had become both very sad, but had also accumulated anger and frustration that were simply waiting to be released.

But how could he do it?

He had no answers.

One thing was certain to him.

He felt alone in the world, and could not understand why no one else seemed to see the world in a similar way.

While the world was moving in one direction, he alone seemed to be looking the other way.
