SYNOPSIS
[EN] In a kingdom called the Hive System, Flora, who is about to be crowned king, is always depressed; she has become numb to the ineffectiveness of her day-to-day life and longs to leave her underground palace in search of freedom. However, in order to maintain the stability of the system, Flora's attendants are constantly observing her movements and plotting to put her into a permanent slumber to stabilize the system once and for all. The attendants prepare a crown that will put her to sleep and prepare to carry out the plan during the coronation ceremony. During the coronation ceremony, Flora stabs herself with a knife and flees the dungeon in a panic. But the world outside is not as beautiful as she imagined.
