After the crimson dusk, the world was swallowed by emotion.
Nine city-states became the last bastion of civilization.
In this age, emotion is the only weapon.
In this age, anyone without emotions is useless.
Cheng Mo stood in line for the awakening test, but the instrument's needle didn't budge.
Everyone laughed. He turned and walked away without a change in expression.
They didn't know he wasn't emotionless.
He was simply keeping it together.
His joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness were locked inside a mirrored chamber only he could enter.
His true power lay between that round table and the nine mirrors. Beneath his right eye was a line of tiny words, pricked into his skin with a needle:
“Keep it together, got it?!”
He came back from the future. He had forgotten everything, except that he had to change the ending.
When the Seven Emotions opened their eyes in the depths of the Heart Domain, when the Council of Nine Ministers fell apart, when the city-states' barriers shattered overnight
the good-for-nothing in everyone's eyes would see his true self in the mirror.
And then, he wouldn't have to keep it together anymore.
As the great tower began to fall, someone saw a stone-faced young man standing atop the ruins, blood running from his wrist, not a ripple in his eyes.
The curtain of an era slowly rose behind him. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something
but he couldn't manage to make a single expression.
