Nearly a decade ago, the world changed forever with the arrival of the Entities—a mysterious race whose sudden appearance left humanity wary and deeply afraid. No one understood these unfamiliar lifeforms, and fear marked their earliest encounters. For a time, it seemed as though people and these strange visitors could never truly share the same world. Everything shifted, however, when people discovered that the Entities' peculiar "moulting" held the key to extraordinary progress, bestowing tremendous benefits upon society at large. Suspicion gradually gave way to acceptance, and step by step, the divide separating the two species began to close. A fragile harmony took root, and a new era of coexistence finally seemed within reach. Yet just as the world paused to celebrate its hard-won peace and prosperity, seeds of destruction were quietly taking hold in the shadows. A silent menace, spreading patiently beneath the surface of everyday life, now threatens to dismantle the entire system—and with it, the delicate balance between the two species that so many worked to build.
