Summary
A petrified world leaves Gen Asagiri alone among statues of friends and foes, wrapped in absolute silence. With no time, no company, and no respite, each day becomes a challenge: finding food, improvising shelter, and protecting what remains of those he loves.
But an unexpected secret grows within him: a life that depends entirely on him. With no guidance and no help, Gen faces a solitary pregnancy, the arrival of his child, and the struggle to survive while nature takes its course around a world frozen in stone.
Amid fear, exhaustion, and fleeting moments of fragile hope, Gen learns to move, to decide, and to hold on to what the petrification left behind—facing every obstacle with the only resources he has left: his wit and his resolve.

Summary
With humanity restored and the silence of petrification finally gone, life begins to settle into a different rhythm. Science moves forward, the future stretches farther than ever, and for the first time, not everything revolves around survival.
Gen no longer has to carry everything alone. The weight he once bore grows lighter now that it can be shared, and in that change, he learns to live without the constant urgency that once defined his days. At his side, Senkū slowly adapts to a role he never planned for, finding in the ordinary something that cannot be solved with logic, yet learning to understand it in his own way.
Meanwhile, Byakuya grows—learning, questioning, and discovering a world being rebuilt before his eyes.
While the Kingdom of Science works toward the Moon, chasing something far beyond their reach, another kind of future takes shape here on Earth, in the quiet, fleeting moments that don’t change the course of humanity—but mean everything to those who live them.
