"All I knew was that I needed to break down this wall." 

I was trapped. Locked up deep inside myself. I could only hang in this in-between world, trapped in limbo, sitting on the edge between consciousness and unconsciousness. Between me and waking up was a wall, an invisible barrier to the waking world.  

So I pushed, shoved, clawed, and kicked against this wall. My weak efforts proved to nothing, but I kept on trying. Until finally, I found a way to break down that wall.  

To gain some, you have to lose some. 

In order to gain the ability to break down this wall, I had to drop something else.  

My memories. 

With nothing left but the urge to break down this wall, I dropped them. 

I awakened inside the Capsule, a strange device that had kept me safe from the outside world. As soon as I stepped out from my cocoon, I was thrown into a seemingly endless wasteland and the world centered around it. As I continued through my attempts for survival, I could only hope for my memories to be triggered by something - a familiar object, word, anything. 

But as bits and pieces of my past come back to me,  I make a shocking discovery, along with several painful realizations. And I start to wonder if I really want to find the pieces of the puzzle that were missing from my memories.  

So my story of Awakening begins.
