Synopsis

A boy dies shielding his best friend when a kingdom burns their village over a prophecy. His friend, unable to be the last one left, brings him back. The boy returns still gentle, still kind, still a child at heart, with a voice in his chest that wasn't there before.

Now they walk the roads toward the kingdom that wronged them, and everywhere they go, the boy helps people. He can't help it; it's who he is. But a kingdom that murders by prophecy needs its prophecies to come true. And every kind thing he does, they're calling proof.

A tragedy about the tenderness that damns, and the love that decides for you.
