Kagetsu was born without an ability; an impossibility in modern society. Despite this, he refuses to abandon his dream, pushing himself to compete against those naturally gifted far beyond his level.
Arisu, on the other hand, awakens a mysterious and terrifying ability: upon death, he is sent back in time. However, this power is not his to control. A disembodied voice issues him "Commands"; orders he must obey. Failure to comply results in a brutal death, forcing him to relive the same moments until the command is fulfilled.
