Chapter 1: Prologue · At Dusk

The 14,006th guest of the Gate of Eternal Night has dissipated into the unknown.

The Paradise remains as bustling and lively as it was on the day I first arrived; many have come and gone, and even more have gone and come. Countless people, just like me, have already come to regard this temporary refuge as home. Within endless worlds lies infinite time to search for a place to belong, yet regrettably, those who find it are few and far between.

— Claros At Dusk, in the Tower of Creation
