Description

Cecil is a survivor of a destructive society where people either care only for themselves or have chosen not to feel at all. They tried to take away his feelings too, but even after the modifications, the immortality, and the perfection offered, he wanted to care more. Now having escaped back into the city, Cecil struggles to understand what he wanted to accomplish. Along the way, he meets a girl who believes that there is something better outside the city walls and wants him to tell her the truth. Will they learn the reason why humanity has become so trapped?
