"Your sin... is your very existence." The grand ceremony for Oz and Ritsu Vessalius dissolves from festivity into a nightmare. Ritsu is sentenced for a transgression lost to memory and plunged into the Abyss—a gothic, unfathomable prison from which none return. In its consuming darkness, he encounters me: Alice. I am a mystery wrapped in lace and shadow, and I pronounce him as my own. Now, with that declaration, the great cogs of fate engage, binding our destinies in a relentless, dark spiral.
