Chapter 1 - Prologue

[The Voice of Time]

"The wind never stops.

People just stopped listening."

The world… the universe… time itself—

they're all just tiny pieces floating in the endless current of the wind.

Somewhere in a colorless, soundless void,

a single clock drifts in the dark.

Its hands?

Not ticking.

Not moving forward.

Not even going back.

And standing there—

a man with skin pale like moonlight.

His eyes? Spinning gears, slow and steady.

"Wars, history, everything—

it's always been under my control.

So why… why couldn't I save her?"

He shuts his eyes.

Takes a breath.

Looks up, and murmurs—

Then, just like that… the world freezes.

"I'll stop everything.

Just to see her alive again.

Even if I have to break the wind itself."

—Somewhere, in a place forgotten by time—

A breeze starts to move.

Its first sound?

Just the last breath… of someone who once lived.
