Synopsis:
Years after a devastating conflict has extinguished humanity, Haruka exists as the sole remaining human on a changed Earth. Her solitude is tempered by a group of advanced robots who offer protection and companionship within the ruins of a once-bustling city. This unconventional family—comprising a variety of models with distinct personalities and skills—maintain a fragile peace within their fortified high-rise dwelling.
Their existence is perpetually threatened by hostile remnants of the war, rogue machines driven to destruction. The series follows Haruka's daily struggles for survival as she navigates a resource-scarce landscape and confronts these dangers. The narrative explores themes of dependence, adaptation, and the evolving definition of family in a world stripped bare, presenting a contemplative portrayal of humanity’s potential alongside artificial sentience.
