「ト…トロ子…」

It's been years ever since The Doctor tried to conquer The Island with Balrog and Misery. But one issue still resides. Your friends still can't get over what happened at the warehouse years ago...

----------------------------------------------

There are 3 specific friends in this tale. Toroko, Alex, and Bartholomew.

Toroko was once the sweetest mimiga you'd ever meet! She was loved by almost everyone in the village and even outside of the village too! She and another friend King went on many journeys across the Village before that one faithful day where she was captured and forced to suffer such a horrible fate.. It not only left the outsider Sue Sakamoto heartbroken, but it also left 1 outsider and Balrog's cousin affected by the horrible outcome as well..

Alex was the son of Halder, one of the many Demon Crown holders in the past. He was once an outgoing outsider that admired the weird nature of the Island and one of his only friends, Toroko. Upon hearing the news of her horrible death, he was forever scarred. He was already ashamed of his father to begin with, but THIS led to his friend being killed.. And as a result, he masks himself to hide who he truly is. He is truly ashamed to be related to the creator of the Demon Crown in every way possible now.
















Alex's grieving for Toroko, along with Balrog's tears and regrets, were enough to drive Balrog's cousin Bartholomew mad.. To the point where one day, he snapped. Knowing that 2 of his close friends were grieving over a dead mimiga, he decided that enough was enough and that it was time...

To finally bring Alex on a journey to revive Toroko.
