The year is 2134.
Humanity should have been gone-but it wasn't.

After a devastating war with the Nekrothians cost them Earth, the remnants of mankind cling to life on Gaea, slowly rebuilding in the Republic of Melancholia, humanity's last fragile sanctuary.

Sixteen-year-old Aiko Ashin and his quiet foster brother have been running ever since one horrific event shattered their lives. They've survived by hiding, shutting down, and trying to outrun what haunts them. But the past isn't the only thing closing in.

Someone unexpected finds him.

As Premier of the United Nation Defense Tranquility, Aiko's father demands he become the Melancholic Knight to defend humanity's final safe haven. In return, he promises protection for Aiko's brother-and answers about the tragedy that tore their lives apart.

Aiko doesn't accept out of duty, loyalty, or pride. He does it for a boy he isn't sure he can call family, and for the truth buried in trauma. Joy is distant, danger is certain, and through it all, one memory repeats in his mind like a heartbeat-a voice he can't forget, echoing again and again:

"Hold onto hope."
