Две параллельные линии повествования — женщина, выполняющая опасные задания, и молодой преподаватель, втянутый в переписывание загадочной рукописи — постепенно сходятся в слегка искажённой версии Токио 1984 года, где появляются вторая луна и таинственные «маленькие люди». Один персонаж пытается разобраться с прошлым и организованным злом, другой — с тайной, способной изменить реальность; их поиски правды и друг друга переплетены темами одиночества, насилия и зыбкой грани между обычным миром и мистикой.

The narrative traces scientific breakthroughs, moral dilemmas, vast engineering projects, and both individual heroism and tragic sacrifice as humanity confronts existential risk, grapples with the ethics of deterrence, and ultimately confronts the indifferent, often brutal scales and rules of cosmic civilization.
