Kouko vows to destroy his soul and end its reincarnation cycle, revealing that their connection reaches back through previous lives. Fuuta seeks to understand why she wants him dead and why he must fight her.
His search takes him through his past lives, across time and space, from the ancient past to the distant future. As the secrets emerge, their intertwined destinies could bring either destruction or salvation.
