In the jagged, trash-strewn depths of the Abyss, everyone has a "soul"-a loud, burning manifestation of their will through an object. But within the elite ranks of the Cleaners, there is a pocket of absolute silence.
Corvus is a man of contradictions: a high-ranking leader who is as laid-back as he is lethal. No one knows the nature of his Jinki, and few dare to ask. To the rest of the world, he is an untouchable enigma. To Vane, he is a man who simply needs to breathe.
As a "Silent Echo" with a Jinki that mutes the very fabric of reality, Vane doesn't just fight; he creates a sanctuary. Wrapped in oversized tech-wear and industrial work gloves, he is the only person Corvus allows within his personal space-the only one capable of "tuning out" the grinding chaos of the world above and below.
While the "Heaven-sent" boy disrupts the status quo and the Cleaners face new threats, the partnership between the scythe and the silence remains unshakable. They don't need words to understand each other; they operate on a frequency only they can hear. But in a world where every soul is eventually bared, how long can their secrets-and their hearts-stay unheard?
