But to enter you need a Ticket. And to get one you must write a letter telling of your misfortune.

Lonely schoolgirl Serin dreams of a bigger, better life. And she can’t believe her luck when her letter of woe is answered with a Ticket. Accompanied by Isha the cat, Serin enters Rainfall Market. She has just two weeks to choose a perfect life in exchange for her misfortunes.
