A lone child in a broken world cries, wondering, "Why did they have to die?"
Their tormented plea is just one among many, the countless voices as innumerable as the flickering lights crowding the night's sky. It's a chorus of anguish, and an orchestra of sorrow; a grand melody of silent suffering that none can escape. Technological innovation abounds with the dawning of a new era, and shining cities beckon, promising safety, and hope. Yet, deep are the shadows cast by these fragile, flickering lights among the dark. In truth, the mistakes of the past haunt all those now living, leaving what remains tarnished beyond repair.
This is the story of a boy, lost and forgotten. A chronicle of life in a hostile universe, and of a cosmos trapped in a vast eternity of horror. Old dreams linger as a concealed history more ancient than the stars themselves influences all.
As an unknowable fear awaits in the dark, a single question echoes across time, "How much are you willing to sacrifice for someone you've never met, and will never know?"
