Ira hates leaving her apartment. She hates how the city never sleeps, and she hates how her own face looks in the mirror. But there's comfort in routine, and a kind of quiet magic in the flickering lights of Noctreign. As she rides her scooter through the neon-drenched streets toward her favorite ramen shop, something in the night hums just beneath the surface—something waiting to change everything.
This is a story about identity, survival, and transformation. About what it means to live at the edge of a world that never really welcomed you — and the quiet power of deciding to keep going anyway.
