[Eight-Series Crossover, Third Arc, Part One | No Protagonist, Ensemble Cast]
“Snap.”
A crack carried in by the wind, a symbol of that… darkness.
Thick, dense clouds gather overhead.
What truths lie hidden among the countless worlds and times…
The flowers never fade; at last, the flowers on the other shore bloom.
The gates of the underworld are quietly drawing near.
In an instant, how many visitors from other times and worlds arrive?
Why do people from other times and worlds look exactly like those from this one?
Who among them is right, and who is wrong?
Hahahaha!
A symbol?
There is no symbol.
It is merely a disturbance in the magnetic field, with multiple timelines overlapping.
Can anyone tell whether the person beside them is a ghost or a visitor from another time and world?
Can anyone tell whether the person before them comes from this timeline or another plane?
Can anyone be sure whether the one next to them is human, or a specter?
No, no.
This is a mystery beyond explanation. Stay tuned.
[Author’s Note]
The first arc of the Eight-Series Crossover: the first two parts of Sleepless Night form the main storyline, while Meeting on the Fifteenth and the stories that follow are side stories. A brand-new main storyline will begin later, separate from all the side-story plots. The characters will reunite, and the new work will have its own title.
