Synopsis:

Sumire, a seemingly ordinary high school student, has long lived with the unsettling reality of perceiving ghosts – a truth consistently dismissed by those around her. Her world shifts dramatically upon encountering Lucia, a mysterious figure who confronts monstrous entities referred to as "viruses." This encounter forces Sumire to confront not only the supernatural threats plaguing her society but also the validity of her own experiences. The narrative explores themes of acceptance, responsibility, and the burden of unique perception as Sumire grapples with wielding her ability to combat these unseen forces and protect humanity from a creeping, otherworldly infection. The series presents a blend of everyday life and surreal action, examining the psychological toll of confronting an invisible enemy while navigating personal doubt and societal disbelief.
