Story
Ageha Yoshina is a first-year high school student who runs a one-man problem-solving service — though in truth, he’s an empty young man simply looking for an excuse to fight. One day, he stumbles upon a suspicious red telephone card left in a public phone booth, identical to one carried by his childhood friend and classmate, Sakurako Amamiya.
Shortly after, Sakurako whispers “Help me…” to Ageha before vanishing without a trace. Investigating the card leads him to an urban legend: that a secret society called Siren and its emissary, the mysterious Nemesis Q, guide humans to paradise. Ageha dismisses it as nonsense — until shadowy assassins appear, targeting him for the card. Cornered and desperate, he answers a ringing telephone, and in an instant finds himself transported to an unknown, desolate wasteland.
