A lord of an unknown place took a liking to her and a man with a mean personality wants to kill her. Irya thought Xintara was her new home but no one wanted her. Every time she encounters 3-09, the first Malthusian in Xintara, she always ends up with her life in danger and wakes up the next day as if nothing happened. As if her death didn't happen at all. Aside from her mysterious encounters with 3-09, she keeps having memories she doesn't remember having and it was always about a man beyond a glass wall.
