A high school student, Hana, feels unfulfilled by her ordinary life until she dreams of a young girl living a difficult existence during the Sengoku Era. The two forge a sisterhood friendship despite the girl’s poverty and hardships. Upon waking, Hana is detained by a government agency and intensely questioned about her dream. The situation is tied to the Akashic Record, which contains the destinies of all humanity, and a looming crisis: the future record for all mankind has vanished. Hana’s connection to the girl in her dream holds the key to resolving this mystery.
