"This world is vast. Whenever I thought I knew something, I found that I knew nothing at all. It is a loss to die before finding even some answers to my questions. But what I have gained is not enough." — Anas, Chapter 40. In truth, everything changed the moment the Vanguard Colony fell. It was the first human colony to fall since time immemorial, opening humanity's eyes to the danger that surrounded them. Anas Yeager—while everyone else flees—wishes to live, yet at the same time, he yearns to know more. That is why everyone calls him eccentric. But that doesn't matter. At least, that is what he tells himself. On his journey for survival, he begins to understand the world, and the twists of his path start to divert him from his original goal. In those very detours, he finds things far more important than the goal itself. So how will this catastrophe reshape humanity's perception of the world, exposing their true nature, the things they hide, and what they fear to admit even to themselves? When self-acceptance becomes the source of your strength, you are left with no choice but to embrace it... or die.
