＜Introduction
The setting is Tokyo in the year 2030.
Suddenly, a high-frequency resonance sound is observed in the suburbs of Tokyo, and the city is enveloped in a red mist.
The city is simultaneously enveloped in a red fog, and anyone who hears the sound, whether animal or human, loses consciousness.
With the capital paralyzed, the government temporarily relocates this function to Osaka, and fearing that this phenomenon is an unidentified virus, it seals off Tokyo, fearing a further epidemic.
However, six days after the "Great Resonance," the people who had lost consciousness awoke as if nothing had happened.
The blockaded city of Tokyo gradually regains its functionality as a city, but after that day, various "abnormal incidents" begin to occur,
The people of Tokyo are gradually eroded into an even more extraordinary world.
In the midst of all this, a group of young people awaken to the power hidden in their blood and become "Vessels of Eihei" - young people who are drawn to each other's power and reject each other.
Drawn by each other's power, they inevitably encounter each other, communicate with each other, and are swallowed into the harsh cycle of destiny, where their lives are cut short by each other.
