What would you do if you saw that your best friend was troubled by something? Would try your best to make them feel joy again, or just watch from the sidelines and see how everything plays out.

For a young boy, he is forced to hear a sad tale from his best friend, but slowly realizes that the main character in the story reminds him of someone very close to him. He is very happy that his friend decides to share this story with him, but slowly sees that even though the pictures are drawn by an innocent child, there is something very grim hiding in their colorful strokes.  

Can he change the course of this sad tale, or will he be forced to listen to it's sorrowful words...only you can help him make that choice.
