Mei, an explorer with fragmented memories, rescues a weaponless man named Gilles during a fateful encounter, only to learn that her own past has been lost to amnesia during a previous expedition into Yggdrasil—a colossal tower said to pierce the clouds and harbor legendary arms and artifacts. Recognizing his magical abilities as an asset, Gilles joins Mei in ascending the mysterious structure, convinced that the answers to her fractured identity lie somewhere within its towering depths. Driven by the need to reclaim what she has forgotten, Mei sets her sights on reaching Yggdrasil's summit, hoping that the journey upward will illuminate the truth of what happened to her.
