==========================
In a post-apocalyptic future where Earth’s surface is uninhabitable, humanity has taken refuge underground. A society driven by survival and exploitation of mysterious energy stones faces challenges as a new generation of survivors, gifted with unique abilities, emerges. 

Tobi, a teenager living in the slums, struggles with loneliness and despair, his only solace being Friend, a talking black fox visible only to him. 

Tobi's life takes a drastic turn when he unwittingly aids a merchant in a dangerous smuggling operation, leading to a fateful encounter with raiders and the awakening of his latent Gift.

The air at the Vanguard camp carried a heavy tension following the destruction of the shard. It was an uneasy calm, like the eye of a storm.

Hannah knelt beside him, her eyes searching his. "We'll figure it out, Tobi. Together. You're not facing this alone."
