Six months ago, an inexplicable phenomenon shattered the foundations of human civilization. A single, deafening scream echoed across the entire globe, carrying with it a catastrophic force that instantly claimed the lives of one-third of the world's population. In the devastating aftermath of this unprecedented tragedy, the remnants of humanity are left to navigate a fractured and grieving world, forever altered by a disaster that defies all logic or explanation. At the center of this shattered reality is Sorakara Kuu, a young boy defined by his profound emotional detachment. While the rest of the world reels from unimaginable loss and terror, Kuu remains entirely unmoved by his surroundings. He exists in a state of absolute neutrality, untouched by joy or sorrow, comedy or tragedy. Neither the horrors of the global catastrophe nor the fleeting moments of hope that follow can stir any reaction within him. As society struggles to rebuild in the wake of the apocalyptic scream, Kuu’s journey unfolds against a backdrop of widespread despair and lingering mystery. His complete inability to feel sets him apart from the traumatized survivors around him, creating a stark contrast between a boy devoid of emotion and a world drowning in it. Through his impassive eyes, the story explores the fragile nature of humanity when confronted with forces far beyond its comprehension.
