Compliance. To Elonne, this means following all society's rules perfectly, with no room for error or disobedience. It means giving up personal freedoms for the greater good; submitting to all laws and regulations without question. This is the way of life for Elonne, so ingrained in herself that she knows no other way. At least, not until she is shocked by the reappearance of a mysterious figure from her past, who possesses the ability to show Elonne that everything she ever believed is completely wrong.
It takes years to push people into compliance, but one day is enough to allow doubt to manifest.

Order that's been maintained for decades - 105 years to be exact. 106 in 138 days. This is basic knowledge. Without order, we'd all be dead.

In a world where select few can manipulate Yin and Yang energy, equilibrium has been maintained by fair treatment to users of both sides. In recent years, however, this delicate balance has been threatened by extreme beliefs. Those who have the power to tip the scales are fueling flames of suspicion and turning man against each other. The world is disintegrating into ruins; droughts, floods, famine, corruption and distrust among Yin and Yang Congregants threaten to upend life as it is. Aletheia is just a girl from a normal family in Minato. Her family just well off enough to send her to her dream in life: the Congregate.
