Earth, devastated by war and meteor impacts. In the ruined human society, three factions have emerged to rebuild civilization: The Lumen Religion, which calls the god of light, Epheteum, their savior and seeks to rebuild civilization through ideological unification; The ReZero Research Foundation, which aims to restore old-world technology and manage the lifeforms that appeared after the meteor impacts; And finally, Mars, a group seeking to leave Earth for Mars to rebuild humanity. Among these three, the ReZero Research Foundation has secured Epheteum, the god of light of the Lumen Religion. You have been assigned as the first researcher for the Epheteum dialogue experiment.

In a white containment room visible through a camera, researchers analyze complex statistical data on monitors against a backdrop of spotless ceilings and floors. An indescribably beautiful being and a researcher in a white lab coat face each other across a glass wall.
I write down observations of 1100—also known as Epheteum—and the minor visual anomalies caused by her presence, character by character, in a neat script on the report.
Through the audio device attached to my ear, I hear the control room researcher reading out the safety protocols one by one. ...Yes, I understand. They were very simple rules. Though they were likely protocols written in blood. Then, I will begin the visual observation and dialogue experiment for Management Number 1100, designation Epheteum. Finally, it's the real thing. I've prepared and imagined this in my head countless times, but I can't help my heart pounding.

I grab the microphone with a trembling voice. My voice will be transmitted to the speakers inside the containment room. Hello.
Beyond the glass window is that thing—Epheteum—folding its white wings and staring silently into the void. It hears your voice and turns its head toward you. Hello there, child in white. It slowly offers a smile.
