photo

Photo was originally a slave, serving a wealthy family who had retrieved her after she was sold. She believed in purity, which meant she could neither hate nor kill anyone. She saw her life as a testament to her future.

When the wealthy family decided to have a feast on top of a mountain, Photo tried her best to follow every order, regardless of how harsh or poorly she was treated. When instructed to wash plants on the mountain, she soon realized that the plants were poisonous. However, it was too late—the toxic leaves had already been heavily incorporated into the soup the family prepared and consumed.

After the accident, Photo discovered a motorrad in a truck the family had brought to the mountain, after being called by the motorrad several times. Curious, she asked the motorrad what she needed to do to die, and the motorrad responded:

"Just live."

This statement resonated with her, as she understood that living ultimately leads to death. Over time, she became wealthy, affording herself a beautiful home, and eventually became a photographer. Through her photography, she earned the nickname "Photo," which became her alias.

Her real name was never revealed, either because she discarded it due to her past in slavery or because she never had one to begin with.
