There will never be another new light born in the universe.
The last conventional star has burned out, leaving the universe cloaked in darkness. Only a single artificial star, "Last Light"-left behind by multiple ancient hyper-civilizations-faintly illuminated the cold, empty space.
Gathered there beneath it were four lonely entities, each having traveled to witness the final moments of the universe. There was Nukumi, a machine intelligence who continuously purges her own memories just to keep functioning. Tomoru, a light-based lifeform from a species that possesses no concept of individuality. Utai, an integrated psyche housing trillions of individual personalities whose voices constantly intertwine. And Tokio, the last living human, who survived a staggering one hundred and eighty thousand years entirely alone.
Though they could neither perceive each other's physical forms nor truly grasp one another's concepts, they shared a quiet, lingering dialogue beneath the star's fading glow. Is it a noble thing to preserve memories, or is the eternal present moment all that truly matters? Facing the end of existence, this is the story of the singular truth found by those who have lived through the depths of eternity.
A beautiful yet melancholic sci-fi ensemble drama, unfolding amidst the silence and the starlight.
