SYNOPSIS
Kaina stands at a crossroads after brokering an uneasy peace between two warring nations. Victory feels hollow when both Atland and Valghia face starvation, their resources stretched to breaking point. The young diplomat knows that diplomacy alone cannot feed the desperate people looking to him for salvation. Accompanied by Ririha and a small band of companions, Kaina embarks across a frozen wasteland toward a legendary structure: an orbital spire tree rumored to hold the key to humanity's survival. The journey tests not just their bodies against the brutal snow sea, but their resolve as a makeshift team with conflicting hopes and fears. What drives Kaina forward is equal parts desperation and faith. He must uncover whether salvation lies at the spire's peak or whether some problems cannot be solved by determination alone. This expedition becomes more than a rescue mission. It becomes a reckoning with what humanity actually deserves to save itself.
