Faust is quite happy with his life at the edge of the world. It's been years since he left the Pale City behind, finding refuge from the transmission beneath the creaking branches of a forest untouched by its venom. The horrors he faced have faded beyond memory, his past all but lost in dark corners of his mind he dare not explore. Alone in the forest, he is happy.
That is, until he stumbles upon a boy just as lost as himself.
In the company of his newfound friend and guided by a girl in a yellow raincoat, Faust returns to the static he once fought desperately to flee with only one goal - destroy the tower, and stop the signal it broadcasts.
As memories resurface and the dangers of the Pale City assault him on all sides, Faust faces a choice: remember, and escape the person he once was, or forget, and join those lost in the transmission.
