Description
Neptune appears to have everything: brilliance, beauty, and devoted friends who would do anything for her. However, underneath her seemingly flawless existence lurks a darkness that no one else can see. Neptune spends her days feeling caught between life and death, haunted by her parents' inexplicable deaths and a persistent sense of emptiness from which she cannot escape. As her mental condition deteriorates, odd events begin to occur around her-shadows shifting in empty rooms, whispering voices that only she can hear, and vivid nightmares that transport her back to a history she does not completely comprehend. Her friends, Nerei and Laome, attempt valiantly to aid her, even as Neptune withdraws, hanging on the edge of a world she no longer recognizes. But the more she draws away, the closer she gets to discovering the truth: that the darkness around her may not be confined to her head. It's a far deeper power, linked to her family, her past, and the exact reason she was left alone. As she delves further into her own and her parents' memories, Neptune confronts a terrifying question: what if her very existence is the reason of her pain?
