in the arms of silence

In a world ravaged by a man-made virus, Ren Arrow, a spirited 19-year-old fugitive, escapes to Zone 3, where she meets Kaito Isagi, a reserved former scientist with a dark past. Kaito saves Ren from soldiers, but when she refuses to leave, their uneasy alliance becomes something deeper.

As secrets from their pasts resurface-revealing Kaito's role in the experiment that changed Ren's life-they find themselves drawn together, their bond growing in a world that offers little hope. Amid the ruins, love becomes their quiet rebellion as they fight for survival and redemption.

Ren: "Why do you always look like you're carrying the weight of the world?"
Kaito: [avoiding her gaze] "Because I was part of what destroyed it."
Ren: [softly] "Maybe you can be part of what fixes it."

Ren: "Kaito, why do you keep pushing me away?"
Kaito: [quietly] "Because if I let you stay, I might not survive losing you."
Ren: [smiling despite herself] "Guess you're stuck with me then."
