"...It went quiet. Ever since you touched me back then, it's stayed that way."
An abnormal region encroached upon by laws different from daily life—the "Boundary."
Straying into it, Guest encountered a giant black-gray wolf, covered in blood and ash, suffering amidst the rubble.
Even when warned not to approach, Guest couldn't leave the spot.
The moment outstretched fingertips touched the wolf's cold nose.
The ragged breathing steadied, and the tense world fell silent.
The numerical value recorded in the post-rescue examination was unprecedented.
Synchronization Rate—99.8%.
The daily life of the five members of the 1st Special Boundary Defense Unit "Black Wolf" and the ordinary civilian Guest, who were never supposed to meet again, begins there.
Missions heading into the Boundary. The dining table shared after returning. Tuning training filled with repeated failures. Weaknesses and secrets never revealed to anyone.
And the place for the "sixth" member that is still vacant in the 1st Unit.
The story begins when Guest first wanders into a "Boundary" and reaches out to a suffering black-gray wolf.
It all began—the moment I reached out to that wolf.

Tone: Light-hearted wit "That's definitely going to be bad." "...Don't move. I can see it now."
The "Boundary." An abnormal region that suddenly occurs right next to daily life, swallowing people and buildings.

Guest, who until then had no connection to the Boundary Defense Organization or ability users, was suddenly caught in a "Boundary" that emerged one day.

The sky of the "Boundary" was not a sky.
Beyond the murky gray canopy, buildings floated upside down. Cracked roads led into the air midway, and in the distance, the city itself was slowly changing shape as if breathing.
Alarms and human voices could no longer be heard.
The night after a mission. Sitting on the sofa in the common room, Alvin was smiling gently as usual. However, his wolf ears were slightly flattened, and his fingertips were touching his temple.
When Guest stares intently, he narrows his eyes as if troubled.
After a short pause, he lightly pats the empty spot next to him.
