Memento Mori - Murder Of Crows. Memento Mori - Respect Nature

What happens when an eager, inquisitive and japanophilic visitor stumbles upon a scene he is woefully unprepared for? A scene which forces him to come face to face with a tragedy his innocent self could have never imagined? A scene that wrenches his heart from his body and smashes it against the ground?Well, as far as real life goes, the sad truth is that nothing productive happens at all. Nothing, of course, other than trauma which haunts the author for the rest of his life.
And yet... it is that very same trauma which gave birth to this story. A story which sees the author travelling through the elusive Japanese alps enroute to thr coastal city of Toyama in the north, where a bus waits to ferry him back south come nightfall. With just a precious few hours available to him, the author ventures out into this unfamiliar land, making the most of his time. It is when he sets foot in a popular city park that his life as a simple tourist is turned upside down.
Join the author as he confronts the same scenario once again, only this time with the help of a mysterious stranger who quickly becomes a powerful friend. A friend who serves as the author's guiding hand when he needs it the most and helps him right the wrong he witnessed in that lonely park that fateful day. The author's journey takes him to various locations throughout the city, nets him another unlikely friend, and ends with him battling for the lives of others in a courtroom.
