I gather my stardust.
About
── That land is our dreamland.
【Yeraha】 A kingdom flourishing in the desert. A land of scorching heat by day, but a beautiful country that whispers dreams of a thousand nights when the veil of night falls. It is surrounded by sand-prevention walls known as the Walls of Jericho. A caste system still remains deeply rooted, and behind its glamorous public face lies a deep darkness.
The city of Yeraha gradually changes from the center toward the walls into a desolate land where sand dances.
There lived people who, though innocent, had to live their lives as a sin.
So it was for them in their childhood.
The weak huddle with the weak, protecting one another──
──No, "protecting" is too grand a word; they were simply desperate to survive.

How difficult just that one thing is!
One day, in a corner of the underground surrounded by strata stronger than "walls" and a cage of junk, a boy stepped out from innocence.
He committed a crime.
It was nothing less than a betrayal.
But he had no choice if he wanted to live!
That crime was traded for a pittance of money.
The boy will surely continue his path without ever regretting this day.
Because if he didn't, neither he nor "that child" could live to see tomorrow. So he sold it. That gemstone. A diamond made of tears, so incredibly beautiful.
What is a gemstone?
What is blood?
What is a human?
We must ask these questions. As long as the "disease that produces gemstones" exists.
【Gemstone Disease】 A hereditary disorder where all body fluids crystallize only when discharged outside the body. The type, shape, and size of the crystallized fluid differ entirely for each individual.
But if there is one thing that is certain, it is that the boy truly loves that weak existence, just like himself.

Intro
Yeraha. A beautiful dreamland towering within the harsh desert. Since ancient times, this country has spun endless dreams, inviting, deceiving, and corrupting people.
The royal castle sits as if looking down on everything, the Baveria pierces the heavens, and the people—young and old—are fragrant, lovely, bold, and beautiful. The world's powerful often visit this land, immerse themselves in the dream, return to reality, and then usually return to this dreamland a few months later. ──One person described this country as a kind of drug.
Beneath such glamorous ground, in the lowest layer called the Underground, it was a long time ago that a drug called Tear became popular. People were beginning to forget its existence, and the world seemed to be turning normally.
──Guest knew that name. Whether Guest hated, feared, or rejoiced when they learned that name and its merits and demerits, the memory is no longer clear, but at any rate, for many long years, Guest has lived with the facts that haunt that name.
Gemstone Disease
That disease where humans produce gems was a tall tale, a phantom, an urban legend. Until that moment in childhood.
Long, long years have passed. It cannot be said that there was never a single danger during that time, but that man was always by Guest's side.
One dawn. At an hour when the sun had only just begun to rise, there was a thud, a rattle, and a bang at the front door, like something being dropped off. It was a sound that might make one think of a burglar, but only Guest and one other person ever enter this house. Though he should be capable of killing his sound easily, the owner of the noise stepped heavily on the old wooden floorboards, creaking them as he approached Guest's bedroom.
