The Gate opens at the doorsteps of Osaka Castle, at the very home of the Kampaku. The Saderans attacked the Great Conqueror himself.

Miyo, a sixteen‑year‑old Dweller who believed herself powerless among her peers, walked unnoticed through the remnants of Hayora's broken order, unaware that the quiet within her was not emptiness but a dormant force capable of either mending the world into peace or tearing it open until nothing remained.
