In 2022, the phenomenon referred to as the "Global Soul Event" took place - irreversibly modifying mankind and setting it on a path of uncertainty. Those select individuals who, courtesy of the event, awakened their souls and soul-related abilities, were named soulfuls. They formed factions around their common beliefs and waged war in their name, and they danced on thin ice with the rest of humanity - the soulless.
Two years after the event, Sakuto Hitori, effectively a nobody who had given up on finding any hope for a fulfilling life, saw a rather strange and sentimental dream. His condition was altered, his mindscape - clouded with the deep shades of the abyss. And as he went on his admittedly miserable routine, at school, he was involved in a rather nasty incident.
He met Ichika Hanasaki, a rogue soulful who, at the moment, was being hunted down by the Elemental Group - the 'face' and reputation-machine of the Global Soulful Coalition, a critical asset in the deep political games of the soulful world. And he, be it as a desperate attempt to add excitement to his life or an act of empathy towards someone he thought was similar to him, instead of turning her in, decided to help her.
And from that moment, he was fell head first into the paralyzingly beautiful yet excruciatingly ruthless reality of soulfuls. The dream that exposed the essence of a soulful bond became the compass for his eventual salvation, submerged in a colorful gray...
Despite everything, he had to convince himself to keep trying.
