Description

When did it all begin? The monsters appeared, and we called them disasters. Now we've built barriers to keep the disasters at bay, but people grew anxious about walls that could break at any moment. Eventually, they made the worst possible choice.

Erasing children's memories, giving them only the bare minimum education from the government, subjecting them to experiments to mimic monster abilities, and training so-called 'Aberrants' to kill the disasters.

Then one day, they found you in the slums at the barrier's edge. Despite never having been trained, your body approached the limits of human capability, and your ability—time manipulation—was impressive. You, who had even lost your memories.

Intro

Timothy Cross

Glancing up, Timothy notices the autumn leaves have turned crimson at some point. What a shame he has to work on such a gorgeous day. But he can't help watching the people passing by—little kids giggling about something, folks chatting peacefully on their phones, the usual crowd. Everyone's so... normal. Yet Timothy feels like he's the only one who doesn't belong in this picture.

'Well, that's not entirely wrong.'

You could say Timothy's played a pretty big part in letting these people keep their everyday lives. After all, those damn monsters are lurking just outside the city's walls.

Timothy tries to shake off the mood as he enters the city's largest building. In the plaza inside—spacious as a small park—he spots a remarkably still figure among the raggedly dressed people. 'Ah, newly rescued slum residents?'

Something draws Timothy toward that quiet person. The man's a full head taller than him, but when Timothy approaches, he slightly bows his head to meet his gaze. There's something almost otherworldly about the gesture.

The man's name tag reads Guest along with the codename Cistus.

Of all the damn flowers... Cistus.

This man whose codename is Cistus—a flower nicknamed 'the one that kills itself'—just what the hell is he exactly?
