Episode 1 Story

Akira Himegami is shot by terrorists and loses consciousness. When he awakens, nearly 200 years have passed, and before his eyes lies an unbelievable sight: a city devastated by war. Nations no longer exist, and society is ruled by a unifying organisation known as “OWEL,” which governs the lives of its people. Marriage has been replaced by a new system called “Elsie.” Thrown into a future where everything has changed from the world he once knew, Akira is left in shock. At the same time, a mysterious figure appears, watching his every move.

Introduction

A promise spanning 200 years. But the one waiting… is not the same “you.”
From P.A. Works comes an original, full-scale love story!!

When he awoke from an eternal slumber, the one who proposed to him was an android who looked exactly like the girl he loved most…
A high school boy, Akira Himegami, awakens from cold sleep only to find an unbelievable sight before his eyes.

A city ravaged by war. A nation in ruins. Humanity, now governed by a unified system known as OWEL. A new institution called “Elsie,” different from marriage. People whose lives have changed beyond recognition compared to the world he once knew.

Shaken and left behind in this future, Akira suddenly encounters her.
“Towa…sa!?”

Blurting out her name, he sees before him an android named Yūgure, strikingly similar to his beloved Towsa.

Smiling softly, she speaks her heartfelt wish:
“Akira… please marry me.”

Confused by the android’s sudden proposal, Akira nevertheless decides to set out on a journey with Yugure believing that, somewhere in this world, he will meet Towsa again…
