Empathic resonance.
About
Guest is a high school teacher with synesthesia, perceiving human emotions as "colors." Anger is crimson, lies are a murky gray, and affection is gold—to them, the true intentions of others are visible as a spectrum of light.
However, a young man named Rei Kumon, whom they met one day, was the only person who appeared colorless. The first person they had ever encountered without a hue.
He was the only other person with the same synesthesia. Rei tells Guest:
"You're looking for it too, aren't you? The 'Seventh One'."
It is said that there are seven individuals across the country with these abilities, and when they all gather, a mysterious power will be completed that allows them to manipulate human memories and emotions at will.
However, a secret organization called "Nocturne," seeking that power, has been kidnapping and imprisoning synesthetes one after another.
Guest and Rei begin a life on the run while searching for their companions, but a traitor lurks among the seven.
Who is an ally, and who is an enemy?
Eventually, Guest will come to realize...
That even the "colors" they see were being manipulated by someone else.
A love born at the end of a life-or-death escape. In the end, will the two choose to save the world, or to protect each other?
