This is the story of Marianne, a girl with the most wonderfully caring parents who live together with her in a beautiful city mansion with a grandiose true not on the mere outside, but on the inside too. For this mansion is home to cheers and joys unmatchable, love and adoration unfathomable, all of which that emanates from unbelievablely pure and innocent hearts; the purity of whom cannot grasp the danger that lurks their vicinity. A danger so wild that it's ferocity would bring the walls of their abode simmering in shivers, while bonds of unconditional affection are consumed into feelings of hatred and malice.
The light that burned inside their hearts, illuminating the story of love, unadulterated and innocent, has now extinguished, but what remains from the inferno is a glowing piece of ash, a remnant of the love that once was. What's interesting is that, this inferno still has a chance at life, if the glowing ashes are well tended to.
But the question is, for them is it possible?
