   Summary

   What was the saying? Ah, yes, dreaming doesn't cost anything.

   Well, what if it turned out that the concept of dreaming was much more than a concept? What if it was, in turn, a man behind glass, and there was once a girl who tried to set him free?

   That girl's name was Esther Carrasco, and it turned out that dreaming cost her everything.
