Synopsis ~

This is the story of a young man severely scarred on his face who thinks he would be willing to do anything to be noticed as a person. He is offered a new face if he helps kidnap a young boy. After he meets and gets to know the child he finds that he values his humanity too much to harm the boy and helps the boy escape into an alien world even though it means becoming a monster in the eyes of the world again.
