Diluc had been returning home late one night from the coast when he spots a sight that sends him into action: A lone girl that had washed ashore. She was such a small thing, but something seemed to be wrong. So not wanting to leave her there to the mercy of the wilderness, he takes her into his care. However, what he was not expecting this girl may just have been ordained by fate, a woman beyond his imaginations that may make him question what he knew...
