Synopsis:

In a world where individuals with supernatural abilities – known as Witches – operate in the shadows, the Solomon organization maintains order by investigating crimes committed by those who abuse their powers. The series follows Robin Sena, a newly transferred agent to STNJ, Solomon's Japanese branch. A pyrokinetic Witch herself, Robin clashes with STNJ’s reliance on Orbo, a substance designed to suppress Witch abilities.

Her arrival forces her to confront the organization's methods while navigating complex internal power dynamics. As she investigates cases involving volatile Witches, Robin must reconcile her own beliefs about power and control with the realities of a world perpetually on the brink of supernatural conflict. The narrative explores themes of prejudice, self-acceptance, and the ethical implications of suppressing inherent abilities within a structured system.
