Synopsis:

Against a backdrop of a world subtly reshaped by mysterious celestial events, the lives of two sisters become irrevocably altered. Shion Pavlichenko unexpectedly gains abilities as a Contractor, thrusting her into a dangerous reality alongside her transformed brother. Meanwhile, Suou, seemingly shielded from this upheaval, navigates the familiar challenges of middle school until a sudden intrusion shatters her ordinary existence. Forced to confront hidden powers and a world of clandestine operations, she grapples with newfound responsibilities while navigating relationships with those she trusts.

The narrative unfolds against the wider context of shifting geopolitical landscapes, specifically the aftermath of a significant event known as Hell's Gate’s collapse. Whispers of impending disaster and a connection to a peculiar silver-haired doll suggest a larger, unfolding conflict that threatens to pull the sisters deeper into a world far removed from their previous lives. The series explores themes of familial bonds, identity, and the weight of destiny in an environment where the lines between ordinary and extraordinary are increasingly blurred.
