In an epoch-shaping event five years ago, the heavens unleashed enigmatic bubbles with unparalleled gravitational powers upon the Earth below. The magnificent city of Tokyo bore witness to a cataclysmic explosion of indeterminate origin, rendering it a confined sanctuary enveloped within an enormous, undulating bubble. Regrettably, this phenomenon, aptly known as the "Bubble Fall," transformed the once-resplendent capital of Japan into an abyssal realm, abandoned and rigidly categorized as a forbidden zone by the governing authorities. Amidst the bleak aftermath, young souls left orphaned by the tragic Bubble Fall now find themselves surreptitiously inhabiting the forsaken landscapes of Tokyo. A dark undercurrent veils their existence as they partake in adrenaline-pumping parkour skirmishes, defying gravity atop crumbling edifices. Among these agile youngsters, one prodigious talent shines brightest.

Fuelled by an ardent desire to unearth its enigmatic truths, Hibiki embarks on a perilous journey, unknowingly plunging into the depths of the aquatic abyss below. But fate has a peculiar way of intervening. A chance encounter with a mysterious young girl, affectionately christened Uta, alters the trajectory of Hibiki's destiny forever. Little does he comprehend that Uta's enigmatic presence in his life will unravel the intricate tapestry of secrets shrouding the ill-fated event that reshaped their world irrevocably.
