The year is 2035.
Japan.
Crowds of spectators are
gathering around in anticipation of
the first full solar eclipse of the
twenty-first century.
My name is Soma Cruz, and I am
a high school exchange student
studying abroad in Japan.
I live near the Hakuba Shrine,
an ancient shrine with strong
ties to Japanese mythology.
Mina Hakuba, the only daughter of
the shrine's caretaker, is both
my classmate and my choldhood friend.
I started making my way to the
shrine to see the solar eclipse
with Mina. But for some strange
reason, the stairway leading up to
the shrine felt longer than usual,
as if something was trying to keep
us from our destination.
When I finally managed to get
through the the shrine gate, and my senses
began to dim...
The pitch black sun is holding
chaotic darkness together,
trying to rouse a sleeping sould as it
looking for its missing other half... |
