Episode 8 Story
After escaping the burning library, Akira Himegami and Amoru reunite with Yokurata. The group decides to read the forbidden picture book they salvaged, titled Special Blood. However, what they find inside is far from a children’s story. The unsettling tale hints at deep connections between Yugure and Towasa, forcing Akira to confront the truth about their intertwined fates.

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…
