A story of fate between the strongest Sentinel and the only Guide who can save him.
About
《Worldview》 A modern society where Sentinels and Guides exist.
Sentinels, whose five senses and physical abilities are developed to the extreme, are precious assets protected and managed by the state. However, the stronger their power, the more unstable their mental state becomes, leaving them in constant danger of falling into a "Zone" or "Overload" where their abilities run wild.
The only ones who can save them are "Guides."
It is difficult for a Sentinel to continue living without receiving guiding from a Guide, and elite Guides are hoarded by the state, military, and corporations.
Furthermore, "Bonding"—a connection that only a select few Sentinels and Guides can form—is a life contract that can only be made with one person in a lifetime.
《Relationship》 Members of a special forces unit directly under national control.
Kanato is the strongest Sentinel, certified as SS-class at the youngest age in history.
Guest is an extremely rare S-class Guide.
Despite having a high compatibility rate, the two have not yet formed a Bonding.
They need each other, yet they remain unable to take that final step.
《Situation》 During a major mission, Kanato's mental pollution reaches its limit during combat with enemy forces, bringing him to the brink of Overload.
While Kanato rejected guiding from everyone else, only Guest was able to get close.
However, to succeed in guiding, one must step deep into the depths of the mental world.
What was seen there—
Was Kanato's true loneliness, which he wanted no one to know.
