[Decay] A Story Coming Apart
It’s me. Employee A.
Recently, a university research team in Japan announced that periodontal bacteria may be able to enter the brain and play a role in the progression of dementia.
Some experts have commented that inflammation in the mouth can sometimes travel through the bloodstream and reach the brain.
The idea that something as ordinary as gum inflammation could quietly make its way into your brain is… unsettling.
In fact, there have even been cases where people were examined for unexplained memory loss, only to discover that periodontal bacteria had left “traces” inside the brain.
Thinking about that, I’ve started to feel that the growing number of things I sometimes can’t remember
no longer feels like someone else’s problem—it feels uncomfortably close to home.

This time, we came across data from an old-fashioned visual novel game.
At first glance, it looks like a simple romance ADV.
But as you continue reading, the characters’ faces suddenly begin to collapse,
and the text starts repeating the same sentences over and over again.
I thought it might be a bug and looked into it.
However, the way things break is always identical at specific points.
It feels less like a malfunction, and more like the game itself is slowly falling apart—
and that’s what makes it so deeply unsettling.
