—Who you are, and who they are.

The vampires whose memories have gone astray, who forgot their original selves and live with false brethren. They accept this situation as reality. No matter how much you try to appeal to them, your words do not reach them. Your beloved, their memories with you forgotten, heartlessly draw near. Every day, you have no choice but to watch them kill each other, blood-lust and snarling. In this closed world with no escape, can these broken gears really be stopped? This is the twisted “Blood Lineage” of the vampires that you follow.

For the tsurugi he wields is cursed Muramasa, which five centuries ago brought ruin to the land, and innocent blood is the price it demands in exchange for its terrible might.
