Synopsis:

Set against a backdrop of subtle societal shifts in a near-future metropolis, the series follows a young archivist named Ren who discovers a hidden archive containing fragmented memories from a forgotten era. As Ren pieces together these echoes of the past, they become entangled with a clandestine organization seeking to control and manipulate historical narratives for their own gain. The narrative explores themes of memory, truth, and the fragility of collective history. Driven by a desire to understand the world around them, Ren navigates complex relationships with colleagues and shadowy figures alike, questioning the present while grappling with the weight of what was. The anime offers a thoughtful exploration of identity and purpose within a technologically advanced yet emotionally detached society, prioritizing atmosphere and character development over high-octane action.
