The manor is the origin of the heroine’s family, and the root of the secrets of soundprint energy that the Watase clan has guarded for generations.

The city is the long journey of hunting soundprints; the factory is the dangerous hub that can spiral out of control at any moment; while the interior of the manor becomes a temporary space where training and bonds quietly take shape.

These locations are scattered across the map, yet they are woven into a single, resonant world through soundprint ripples, signal fluctuations, and the subtle shifts of weather.

Watase Mei has recruited the strongest soundprint envoys. Each of them commands a different soundprint ability—an anomalous yet living frequency that grows and evolves according to the way spiritual power is used.

The story carries surreal imagery through everyday details, and maps real emotions through fantasy metaphors.

“Sound” becomes the core bond connecting reality and the fantastic. The heroine’s profession is “capturing sound,” and sound itself possesses the inherent fantasy quality of being “intangible yet powerful.”

From fantasy setting, to imagery vessel, to narrative fusion and cross-media presentation, the story unfolds across four interwoven dimensions:

Soundprint Manifestation

When the emotional density of a sound reaches its threshold, it condenses into visible Soundprint Crystals.

Warm-golden soundprints: symbolize warm memories and unspoken love. Like a childhood lullaby, they manifest as feather-shaped crystals entwined with starlight.

Deep-blue soundprints: symbolize regret and unfinished wishes. Like an incomplete fishing song, they appear as ice-prism crystals resting on the riverbed; touching them brings a faint, blurred melody.

Crimson soundprints: symbolize fierce obsession and anger. Like the choked sob of a breakdown, they take the form of burning sparks that scorch the heart of anyone who draws near.

Transparent soundprints: symbolize pure curiosity and vitality. Like the most joyful laughter in the world, they appear as floating bubbles that scatter on the wind; touching them lets one briefly feel a child’s pure delight.
