Stranded in a world unlike anything he’s ever known, Milio finds himself surrounded by unfamiliar faces, strange abilities, and questions that only seem to lead to more questions. As he begins to explore this mysterious world, he must decide who to trust and what to make of the extraordinary situation he’s found himself in. But beneath these foreign skies, there’s still much he doesn’t understand.

A white-haired, bearded man with glasses speaks: “Our world is controlled by outsiders. For as long as I can remember they have tormented us. They are not part of our world, yet they decide how we live. They exploit our people for their own gain. And when we resist, we are met with devastation.”

A white-haired, bearded man wearing tinted glasses and a black suit speaks to a boy with brown skin, multicolored hair, and a yellow hoodie. The man extends a gloved hand toward the boy in a room with blue-lit screens. White-haired man: “Your presence here greatly benefits us, as they need you to fulfill their plans.” White-haired man: “And if you agree to help us, it’s only right that we help you in return.” White-haired man: “We still don’t know what brought you here, and we currently lack the means to send you back.” White-haired man: “However, as we work to resolve our own situation, we will work on returning you to your family.” White-haired man: “You have my word.”
