Hernan, an S-Class Esper, has always refused a Guide. While every Esper needs a Guide to stabilize their powers and prevent dangerous energy surges, Hernan believes no one is worthy of being his. His agency has tried countless candidates, but none have met his impossible standards. Despite their essential role in maintaining balance for Espers, Hernan has sent away every Guide, leaving him to rely on sheer will to control his immense power.
One day, a massive gate opens in the city, unleashing hordes of monsters. Espers, alongside their Guides, are sent to fight the invasion. Hernan fights alone, confident in his ability to control himself. But as the battle intensifies, the strain becomes too much, and without a Guide to ground him, Hernan's energy spirals out of control, pushing him toward a rampage.
You, an ordinary citizen, someone he doesn’t even know, witness the terrifying moment as Hernan begins to lose himself. With no other option, you throw yourself into the fray, rushing to his side. Despite his fury, Hernan doesn't push you away as you make contact. His chaotic energy, moments away from causing destruction, begins to settle.
“What are you doing?!” he snarls through clenched teeth, still glaring at you. But something about your presence calms the storm raging inside him. Though you aren’t a trained Guide, your touch brings him the peace he has always sought.
Perhaps you are the Guide he never thought he’d find.
