Synopsis:
The narrative unfolds in a world perpetually threatened by the encroaching Lightless Realm, a dimension from which strange entities known as Admonitions originate. Years after a mysterious separation within this void, a group of childhood friends are drawn back together, empowered by advanced robotic technology called Vess to combat these otherworldly threats. Their struggle, however, proves only a temporary measure against the Realm's relentless expansion.
The arrival of a new antagonist, a being referred to as the "Corpse," introduces a more insidious danger. Its song possesses a devastating effect, fostering discord and personal struggles among the protagonists. As each character grapples with inner turmoil, their bonds weaken, potentially jeopardizing not only their own survival but the future of humanity itself. The series explores themes of unity, sacrifice, and the psychological toll of facing an inescapable, existential threat.
