Synopsis

One bad day doesn't make a bad life.

But what if that bad day is just one of many?

Yota Shiratori feels like he's walking on a path with no end.

So when he's visited by his best friend, Hikari Oshiro, he takes comfort in knowing that he won't have to walk alone if only for a short while.

Especially when the monsters show up in his apartment building.

Monsters that lurk at the edge of his vision.

Monsters that infiltrate his wounds, both new and old.

Monsters that dredge up all of the memories he tried to drown years ago.

Monsters that cage him in his regrets upon the shards of his shattered dreams.

Monsters that break his trust in everything and everyone he knows, even himself.

He wonders how he can possibly escape them when darkness is all he has ever known

And even the light betrays him right when he needs it the most?
