Prologue — Desiderium

In a snow-shrouded world where time flows in a unique 48-hour cycle and humans coexist with sentient androids, many hold onto a single hope: a Wish. A wish for a gift from the fabled jolly man in red. But as the winter festival approaches, the question lingers: Will their wishes be granted? Will the boy who clings to his desperate hope find it fulfilled? Amidst glowing lights and festive preparations, the world braces for the unknown. No one truly expects a sleigh pulled by reindeer—but in the year 2,412, as the calendar winds toward Samhain, surprises might just descend like snowflakes. Watch the end of an era unfold... where wishes may shape destinies—or shatter them.
