Synopsis:
In a near-future ravaged by the rapid spread of the Medusa virus, a select group of individuals are placed in suspended animation within a secluded Cold Sleep Capsule Center housed inside an imposing, centuries-old castle. Among them is Kasumi, a young woman clinging to the hope of reuniting with her twin sister, Shizuku, who shares the same affliction. Upon awakening, the reality surrounding the CSCC is unsettlingly altered; the once familiar halls are now overgrown and menacing, mirroring a twisted fairytale landscape. The slumbering inhabitants find themselves besieged by strange creatures, forcing them to confront questions of time lost and the fate of a world irrevocably changed. The narrative explores themes of hope, isolation, and survival as these individuals grapple with an unknown past and a perilous present within the castle's enigmatic walls.
