   Summary

   In the borderlands, a man with no purpose meets a girl with no hope. Manipulative but empathetic, Mai hates Chishiya for his indifference towards the wrong in the world. Cunning and snide, Chishiya hates Mai for her beliefs, the values she thinks elevate her. In the midst of chaos, the line between enemies, friends, and something more is nonexistent.
