Synopsis
The United States of America has been in chaos ever since the emergence of D2s, an invasive species originating from a black meteorite that fell to Earth. A public decree banned citizens from playing any melodies, to prevent further casualties caused by the D2s' hatred for music—even now, in 2047, this prohibition is still in effect.

AI Synopsis
AI · OriginalWhen music becomes a weapon, a mute world needs a conductor to rewrite the score.
In a near‑future America where a black meteorite has unleashed the D2s—monstrous beings that detest any sound—music itself becomes a crime. The government bans all melodies, and humanity’s only hope lies in the Musicarts, ethereal young women who embody classical compositions, and the Conductors who wield them. Takt Asahina, a prodigious yet detached piano virtuoso, is thrust into the role of Conductor after a sudden D2 assault claims the life of Anna Schneider’s sister and awakens his own Musicart, Destiny, a living embodiment of a forgotten symphony. United by grief and a desperate need to reach the fortified Symphonica Headquarters in New York, Takt, Destiny, and Anna set out on a perilous trek across a shattered landscape. Takt’s yearning to touch the piano again draws the D2s like a magnet, while Destiny’s rigid sense of duty pushes the trio into ever‑riskier confrontations. As they battle the relentless, music‑hating monsters and confront the moral cost of silencing art, they must decide whether the harmony they seek is worth the discord they create.
