Today is Friday September 4th, 2015... again. Ayanokouji Kiyotaka finds himself stuck in an infinite time loop. Experiencing the same late-summer day over and over again. After a few cycles he has memorized every little thing that happens and nothing has truly surprised him for quite a few days. That is... until one of his acquaintances, Ichinose Honami, shares her worries about this 'dream' she has had for the past 2 nights.

There are those who are shaped not by the world, but against it. Forged in the cold of isolation, trained not to live, but to dominate. Their mind is a machine, their will a fortress.

Now he walks a road he cannot control. Filled with doubts, with shadows, with promises he cannot guarantee. There is fear. There is uncertainty. There is weight in every step. But there is also something new. Something warm. Something real. Perhaps this is the beginning of his undoing. Or perhaps, the most beautiful gift life could have ever offered.
