For years, Jin Yeong-Won, an unregistered special forces sergeant, has deliberately suppressed his abilities as a Sentinel. However, once his concealed power is exposed, he is forcibly reassigned to a classified military unit where Sentinels are treated strictly as weapons rather than individuals with choices. Within this rigid environment, he is paired with Captain Myeong Hae-Jun, an A-rank Guide tasked with stabilizing him. From their very first encounter, Yeong-Won fiercely resists the arrangement. Deeply scarred by the trauma of the day his powers initially awakened, he refuses to fight, convinced that wielding his abilities again will only plunge him back into his darkest nightmare. Military command, however, shows no sympathy for his psychological wounds. Orders are issued demanding that Hae-Jun deploy Yeong-Won into active combat regardless of his mental state. The fragile tension shatters one night when air raid sirens scream across the base and explosions thunder overhead. Thrust into chaos, Yeong-Won is violently thrown seven years into the past, forced to relive the exact moment that broke him. As immediate danger closes in and trust between the two men remains entirely unformed, both must determine whether survival is even possible without finally confronting the horrors of the past head-on.
