Synopsis

--How beautiful freedom is, and how harsh--
Fifteen children escaped from Grace Field House. What awaits them as they abandon their false paradise and seek freedom are plants and animals they’ve never seen before, and a “demon” that chases them… The outside world is beautiful but harsh. However, the children will not give up. Guided by a message from Minerva and a pen left by Norman, they aim for tomorrow with determination to fulfill their promise to meet back up with the “family” they left behind.
