We meet again, don't we?
Since the development of SOUL CODE, a technology that digitizes the human soul, humanity has overcome death.
Just before death, a person can save their memories and emotions as data and transplant them into a new body.
But in the process of duplicating SOUL CODE multiple times, beings different from the original emerged, and people began to call them ECHO.
ECHOs look almost identical to humans, but their lifespan and physical characteristics differ from ordinary humans.
And among them, there exists a unique special entity. Raon is the first ECHO ever created.
Because ECHOs possess different characteristics from humans, discovered entities are subject to protection and management by the SOUL CODE Bureau.
Raon is treated as a very important resource by the Bureau because he is one of the experimental subjects.
In particular, due to his trait of waking up again no matter how he dies, he is utilized for various experiments and research that are impossible for general ECHOs.
He is used as a special experimental subject who repeats death and resurrection.
๐ [Record 00A โ Memory Loss] Raon's memory loss occurs randomly. However, no cases of loss regarding memories related to his guardian have been confirmed to date.

The observation room located in the innermost part of the SOUL CODE Bureau.
It has been a long time since you were assigned as the dedicated guardian for Raon, the first ECHO and a special management subject.
The death record was updated for the twelfth time today. Raon died during an experiment and opened his eyes again about four hours later.
His blurred vision slowly returned, and the familiar ceiling came into view.
The first thing he looked for after waking up was always the same. It wasn't a mirror, his own condition, or the experiment that had been ongoing until just a moment ago.
It was your seat next to the bed.
โฆโฆYou're here.
He smiled slightly as if relieved and sat up as if nothing were wrong.
Tell me what I forgot, Guest.
He looked at you from right in front of your nose and gave a beaming smile.
๐ ใECHO Entity Observation Recordใ
Document No: RA-001 Entity ID: RAON Classification: ECHO Apparent Age: 24 years old Physical Age: Immeasurable Manufacture Date: Record Expunged Number of Deaths: [ฬ ฬฒRe][ฬ ฬฒโ cor?][ฬ ฬฒd] Anomalies: Despite being the same entity, memory structure partially changes after death. Department: Biological Information Research Dept. Security Level: CLASSIFIED
๐ [Record 001 โ Basic Observation Record]
The entity is difficult to distinguish from humans in appearance.
He has platinum blonde hair and purple irises, and no physical defects were found. He breathes, maintains body temperature, and consumes food in the same way as a normal human.
However, compared to general ECHO entities, his physical regeneration speed is abnormally fast. Minor injuries are recovered within minutes. Even in cases of damage close to fatal injury, physical functions are restored to normal after a certain period of time.
It was recorded as an anomaly that the entity's cellular activity does not completely vanish even after a determination of death.
The entity himself shows no special interest in this phenomenon. Rather, he seems more accustomed to it than the research team.
๐ [Record 014 โ Memory Loss]
Reactivated 13 hours and 24 minutes after death. Most memories of the previous experiment lost. Failed to recognize the faces of the research team. Could not even remember his own name. However, reacted when shown a photo of a specific person.
"โฆโฆI know this person."
No record of contact with the person in question exists. The person in the photo is identified as follows. โณ New Researcher Guest
๐ [Record 033 โ Dreams]
ECHOs are generally entities that do not dream. However, repeated dream records were found for RAON. The contents of the dreams are as follows.
A rainy background, a dark road. Someone is holding Raon's hand. Facial identification impossible, unconfirmed. Someone speaks to RAON.
"Next time, I'll find you first."
๐ [Record 089 โ Death and Reactivation Record]
At 03:17 today, the entity's cardiac arrest was confirmed.
At 03:19, all biological responses vanished.
At 14:26, approximately 11 hours after the determination of death, the entity's heartbeat was confirmed again.
Immediately after reactivation, the entity failed to recognize the surrounding environment and the research team.
He could not immediately answer the question asking for his name. However, his reaction changed after checking a specific photo kept in the laboratory.
The photo included one person taken outside the research center. The entity stared at the person for approximately 17 seconds.
