1931 Winter: The Time of the Oasis/Prologue 1: The Rabbit Hutch

Synopsis
In the outskirts of Newark, 1931, Carzelio Runorata has grown dissatisfied with his spoiled life and possesses a strong desire to venture into the world outside his mansion on his own. This desire doesn't go away no matter how many material things he is given, but his parents refuse to leave him on his own because he is the grandson of Bartolo Runorata, leader of the Runorata Family. Because of his circumstances, Cazze has grown up without friends, but also without the luxury of being left to his own devices.

On December 30th of the same year, Cazze acts on his desire for freedom by using a rope ladder he'd previously constructed to climb out of his window. After hiding from his pursuers in the bushes, he manages to put significant distance between himself and the mansion before taking off in a run. Eventually, he comes across a small truck belonging to the Vanishing Bunny, apologizing quietly to the people at the mansion he'd left behind before climbing into the canvas back.
