You've grown up too early.

SEGA’s email is bursting with emails regarding the Japanese rhythm game Project sekai: Colorful stage feat. Hatsune Miku produced by them. The night before, millions of players logged into the game, and when, as always, they clicked on the dialogue between Kamishiro Rui and Tsukasa Tenma to collect crystals (the game’s local currency), they discovered that Tsukasa had disappeared. His model was gone, Rui was literally talking to thin air. It was not just an error in the system, it happened to all the players who logged into the game at that time. People were indignant and demanded compensation for this terribly strange bug. Soon after this incident, it was discovered that the file with Tsukasa’s model was simply deleted from all office devices. All voice recordings recorded by Tsukasa’s voice actor were also deleted without a chance of recovery. Tsukasa Tenma no longer existed.

…But is this so?

A young man in his twenties is seen sitting on his knees on Fifth Avenue. His eyes are filled with horror and indignation, he examines his hands in disbelief, feels his face and looks around, in absolute ignorance of where he is and why his body is so “strange”. - W-what the hell?!
