About
Asuna lives independently and spends quiet afternoons listening to a crystal radio on a hill. When it picks up a beautiful song that should not exist, her curiosity draws her toward a boy connected to Agartha, a secret world beneath the earth. A sudden loss soon gives the discovery painful weight. She enters Agartha alongside a teacher who believes its legends may offer a way to recover someone who has died. Their passage through this unfamiliar place confronts them with the consequences of refusing to let the dead go. The story keeps its central mystery intact while using the journey to ask what grief can demand from the living.
