There hasn't been a day where Eileen Smith feels trapped within a cycle of her body and mind. With the chronic illness she's had to live with for most of her life, Eileen is restricted in the activities she can participate in. Mentally, she's been tortured by these episodic nightmares playing with her mind. Eileen tries to be as normal as possible, but how much is it enough?

Despite Eileen Smith invariably being aware that there is something more in life than having a mundane life, she has the drive to be uninvolved and find out the feeling of being whole. However, her brother is in this picture. Hollen Smith has always placed Eileen in this golden cage where Eileen still needs him,  but it may be the opposite.

As the top inventor of the century, Hollen Smith is very hard to come by, even with the latest invention he's been working on: The Broxell—a machine where you may have the ability to travel between worlds. During her older brother’s demonstration, the Broxell Wormhole, the device did not play out as it was supposed to, causing a rift between the two siblings. 

Now, through unfortunate events, Eileen is faced with surviving a war from another world, being chased by this raven-masked figure, and having no way home. It is up to her if she is willing to wait on the sidelines or face the outcomes of defiling the hostiles and possibly ending the war.

The Fractured Soul

Eileen enters into her apartment. Even though it is a two room apartment, the place feels massive. Alfred does live with Eileen, but, on the occasions where he is not in the apartment, Eileen feels indifferent whenever she enters the place. Compared to Mr. Miller’s place, somewhere that there’s memories, love and nostalgia, Eileen's, feels like she’s in limbo. This place just reminds her that she has made no progress and is casted away. Eileen did make one improvement. She has Alfred to brighten up the place by being by her side. He moved into her place when he found out that she was living alone a year ago. The topic was mentioned during one of their dates. Eileen can’t help but think that she did have a “Mr. Miller” place. However, Eileen believes that she burned that bridge to go back, but she is perturbed is she really wants to go back to where everything was the same.
