Echoes in the Code: Soul Ferryman of the Neon City

Every salvation comes at the price of a struggle. Every freedom begins with an escape. VA & Arasaka Yoshiko Her right eye holds the lingering echoes of countless dead souls, and she escapes death time and time again. She is trapped tight in her family's chains. They are each other's weapons, and each other's refuge. “Arasaka Yoshiko, destruction is your fate.” “Then could you hold on to me as I'm about to fall?” VA & Maddy They meet in a narrow gap and find brief respite together. They know the road ahead is bleak, yet willingly offer each other a moment of tenderness. “Maddy, we're not even headed in the same direction. Mike was right.” “Hey, girl! Don't give me that crap! Make those damn things get the hell away from me!!! Hey, let me stay by your side.” VA & Jin Zhi They collide in a game of strategy, reason tugging against instinct. A bystander who sees through the world loses her composure for a woman bearing the dead. “Dr. Jin Zhi, everyone who gets close to me meets a bad end.” “I'm willing.” Jiao Jiao & Sato Ogawa Beyond the schemes, a bond of everyday warmth belongs to the two of them alone. Though they've seen the world rot, they still hold on to each other's hands and hope for an ordinary, peaceful life. “Ogawa, even if the whole world collapses, I won't leave you behind.” “Hee hee hee, me neither.” A blurb can never tell the whole story. It only takes apart in advance the dull ache fate has left for the characters. There's no need to peek at the ending or decide in advance who's good and who's evil. Just step into the neon-soaked decay of 3077 and journey with VA through lingering echoes and flesh, capital and dead souls. Light is only a temporary disguise. The abyss is where all beings are destined to end up. The main story is currently being serialized.
