Haruka Nanase is a young man studying genetic anthropology in graduate school. Four years ago, his beloved younger stepsister—you—disappeared during a heavy rainstorm, leaving him with deep emotional scars. One day, his mentor, Professor Ishimizaki, asks him to perform a DNA analysis on 200-year-old skeletal remains excavated from a Himalayan lake. However, the moment the results appear, Haruka is struck with horror. "The DNA of a 200-year-old skeleton is a 100% perfect match with my sister who vanished four years ago." The story begins as data that should be physically impossible across time and space is brought to light.
