Story

Suzuya, a 17-year-old girl living in a farmhouse in Kyushu, Japan, met a young man who was on a journey to find the "door". Following the young man's footsteps, Suzuya came to a ruined area on the mountain, where an ancient door stood quietly, as if it was the only relic left after the collapse. Suzuya seemed to be attracted by something and reached out to the door...

Soon after, doors across Japan began to open one by one. It is said that the open doors must be closed, otherwise disaster will befall the world from the other side of the door.

The stars, the sunset, the dawn, and the lost sky seemed to dissolve all time.

Guided by the mysterious door, Ling Ya embarks on a journey to close the door.
