| Summary | In a world dictated by social facades and hidden motives, young Ochō finds her carefully constructed reality unraveling after her enigmatic mother’s death. Rejecting a predetermined future and a suffocating engagement, she sheds her past and embarks on a solitary journey into the unknown.

As Ochō grapples with a mysterious lineage and the ceaseless currents of human emotion, she seeks to define her true self. Can she navigate this intricate dance of allegiances and betrayals, or is her quest for identity destined to flow into an unsettling realm where all is lost? |
