Synopsis
In the remote village of Filora, where time peels away like cracked paint and souls linger as if they never truly died, lives Ronwa—a seven-year-old girl bearing features that don’t belong to the living world. With eyes shimmering with sorrow and endless questions, her journey begins when the ghost of her deceased twin visits her to reveal a truth long ignored by the heavens: she is the Princess of the Seven Keys… and a mirror for the spirits. But the keys are more than symbols. They are fractured souls, torn between who they were and who they wished to be. Each spirit forces Ronwa to confront a different facet of existence: a man longing for oblivion more than life, a musician crushed under cruelty, a child frozen in the moment of death, and a genius who sees humans as broken toys. With every encounter, Ronwa’s innocence shatters bit by bit, and she learns that death is not an end, but an unanswered question. Philosophy seeps into her childish mind: What meaning remains if everything must perish? And are wishes worth the souls lost to attain them? With every key, she inches closer to a wish she does not yet understand, while the boundaries between good and evil, truth and illusion, life and death blur. Ronwa is not a heroine—she is a mirror. And what others see in her… is themselves.

Chapter 1 - The Rumor of the Lost Keys

They used to say that the wind speaks at night...

And that the trees whisper the names of those who have been gone for a long time.

In our village, Filora, no one likes to talk about "that house"... the house at the edge of the forest, behind the abandoned field, where no one dares to go near.

My grandmother says the light there is not like the moonlight...

And that those who stare at it for too long forget their name.

But I've heard them, the older children, whispering in corners about a rumor.

A very strange rumor... no one knows who started it.

They say there's a key buried in that land, a key that only those who have lost something precious can see...

I don't know if the rumor is true.

But... on some nights, I hear someone calling my name from there.

A voice that sounds like mine... but it's not me.
