Three years earlier. The sole survivor
of last week's colossal
bullet-train disaster, a young boy named Atari, awoke from a deep-coma
early this morning to learn
of his parents' tragic deaths and also the intention of his distant-uncle,
Mayor Kobayashi, to personally adopt him as ward
to the mayoral-household. Upon his release
from Megasaki General, Atari who suffered the loss
of his right kidney and numerous broken bones
in the crash will live
in sequestered quarters within the confines
of Brick Mansion, where he will be educated
in solitude by private tutors. Atari has also been assigned
a security-detail for his own protection in the form of a highly
trained bodyguard-dog named Spots Kobayashi
