In the year 3000, the greatest luxury isn't gold or power-it's a single tear.
The human race has become a collection of "Grey Souls," high-functioning shells who have lost the ability to feel. The world is efficient, quiet, and spiritually bankrupt. As the CEO of the Violet Corporation, Yuji Violet has found the solution to this "Great Boredom." She doesn't just want to study emotions; she needs to extract them.
By dragging 21st-century teenagers into her "School Ward," Yuji is starting a harvest.
The Heart-Locks around their necks aren't just for tracking ranks-they are 31st-century siphons. Every time Mealana Miller feels a surge of rage, every time Gemma trembles in fear, and every time a student experiences the crushing weight of betrayal, that raw "emotional energy" is beamed forward through time, "feeding" the hollow citizens of the future.
Yuji has created a factory of suffering to give her people a reason to live.
But the harvest is reaching its peak. To get the most concentrated dose of humanity, Yuji has designed the Chamber of Reciprocity-a final game where the emotions will be so intense, the energy could reboot the human soul.
Mealana Miller is the star of the show, but she's tired of being a battery. As the glass begins to crack, Mealana realizes that the only way to stop the harvest is to feel something so powerful it overloads the system: A choice that Yuji Violet's technology can't contain.
