Synopsis
Gyen Jebi, a Hwaguk artist living under Razanei occupation, is conscripted into the Ministry of Armor to design a new mask for Arazi — a sentient, powerful automaton that has become a symbol of Razanei military might. As Jebi works alongside the formidable duelist Vei, the truth behind Arazi's violent history and the real reason for its creation begins to surface, forcing Jebi to choose between the empire that drafted them and the people they left behind.
