Grabbing a hold of all my thoughts of “why” now
Digging through doubts that I have pushed far back now
Someone please come help them, I swear as the warden I’ll bind their EGOs in
“I hate you” and “ok”, the line is thinning
Drop all your EGO, see the truths beginning
Before your time runs out, confess what you’ve hidden
Are you truly innocent?
Deceiving fools will be swept under

Good afternoon, prisoners. My name is Es, I am the warden of this prison. I want to learn about the crimes you have all committed. I am here to judge your crimes, whether you’re innocent, or undoubtably guilty.
I am… Es. I am the prison guard of MILGRAM. That’s all I remember.
Now, sing your sins!
Voice Actor
This role requires both SPEAKING and SINGING
A quiet young prisoner who's normally always looking at the ground. At first, he only responds to Es’s questions with a word or two. But as he starts to open up through conversation, he slowly starts to become more talkative. When you're able to communicate with him properly, you can see his true personality: a kind and gentle person.

WEAKNESS -
I cried my heart out, I screamed with no sound
Longing for love and pity—what a sad game to play
I keep on hiding, I keep denying
Can’t let them see the fragile hopes I feel every day
Ah ha ha, please just look my way now_______________

Just me and you, I feel a flutter deep inside
A tender sign of love we couldn't hide
But on my own, that warmth begins to disappear
So come to me and we’ll hold the warmth near
Am I the bad one here?
Forget I asked, my dear

AFTER PAIN - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hhEscT6TOsv6YyDlHGwCpWbo1tYyNkkl
Hey why does it keep hurting, hurting, hurting why won’t you stop this after pain flowing?
My heart is dried, No tears left to cry
Your “Sorry” spells are wearing off now
I can see through the blinds again
But maybe I’m at fault somehow I’m rotten to the core so I deserve all this pain
If I obey, will this make us right?

Tell me, what do you feel? Did you know love is real?
If yes, then come and let our hearts just overheat today

I really don’t know what I did wrong!
I don't know what kinds of sin I’ve committed...
So um, I'm Mikoto Kayano, 23 years old. But anyways, I don’t think what you’re doing is right! You should probably stop before the police get involved.
