Synopsis:
Years after the dissolution of a shadowy organization known as DARK, Jiro exists in a world struggling with lingering uncertainty. Haunted by the hope of reuniting with a lost connection, he drifts through unfamiliar landscapes. His path intersects with Rieko, a woman fiercely guarding Akira, a young boy unknowingly entangled in a dangerous legacy. Akira’s parentage is shrouded in complexity; he is the son of the ruthless Professor Gill, yet also holds the key to unlocking a devastating power central to Gill's ambitions for global domination. The narrative explores themes of loss, responsibility, and the potential for redemption amidst a backdrop of hidden agendas and looming conflict. It offers a character-driven story focused on navigating moral ambiguities and confronting the consequences of a dark past.
