Despair 20
Once again, people are being magically transformed by the island! This time, they are turning into likenesses of characters from traditional fairy tales.
However!
Personally, I don't see much difference from before!
Whether they've been magically altered or not, it is human nature to spend your life in fairy tales! Even aside from the countless sources of escapism that society provides for us, even the "real" part of life is nothing but a set of precariously balanced fairytales!
As you can see, the ways in which mankind evades reality through its overpowering sense of denial are countless! We would rather do anything than face the cruelty of the real world!
I'M IN DESPAIR!
The overabundance of fairy tales has left me in despair!

- A decaying relationship is kept shakily afloat by the fairy tale that nothing is wrong between them!
- A company goes out of business, but the flurry of last-minute clearance sales create a fairy tale that business is booming!
- A manga whose popularity is waning continues telling its story through the fairytale that it will get more than one more volume to conclude!
