Synopsis:
Asuna Watase leads a solitary existence in a secluded mountain dwelling, finding solace in the crackling sounds of her antique crystal radio. Her carefully ordered life is disrupted when an unfamiliar, haunting melody pierces through the static, followed by the unexpected arrival of Shun, a boy who rescues her from a lurking danger. This encounter initiates a journey to a forgotten realm, a place far removed from Asuna’s quiet world. The narrative explores themes of memory, isolation, and the transformative power of connection as Asuna navigates this new environment. Expect a contemplative atmosphere, focusing on character development and the unfolding mystery of a land shaped by echoes of the past, where personal history becomes interwoven with the fate of an entire world.
