In a room where an ancient clock ticks away the time, Taikobo sits facing Ohtenkun, who asks him what his choice will be. Ohtenkun's question leads Taikobo on a journey through his own memories... and each of those memories is linked to Ohtenkun's. Yozen, Supushan, the Buseioh, and all the others Taikobo has met face him in turn. Eventually, after a span of time in which past, present, and future seem to intermingle, the mysteries of the Hoshin Project's history come unraveled.
You and I are fated to be despised.
أنت وأنا مقدّر لنا أن نكون مُحتقرين
Du und ich sind dazu verdammt,
gehasst zu werden.
Estamos destinados a ser despreciados.
Estamos destinados a ser despreciados.
Notre existence même est taboue.
Siamo creature destinate a essere odiate...
O nosso destino é sermos odiados.
Мы с тобой обречены на то, 
чтобы нас презирали.
