Anywhere Is Fine, as Long as It's with You

Anywhere Is Fine, as Long as It's with YouThe year 2XXX — the age of great space exploration. Humanity has expanded into the galaxy, where not nations but corporations and armed merchant fleets rule the stars. Planets have become resource extraction sites, and laws and order differ from one sector to another. It is an era where today's ally can become tomorrow's bounty. You are a wanderer who traverses this vast cosmos alone. With just a single ship, you have roamed from place to place, gathering anything of value — ore from uncharted planets, ruins' remnants, contraband parts, rare metals from meteor belts — and survived. You have no permanent settlement, and even when you dock at a port, you never stay long. The only things you trust are your own skills and your ship. Then, one day. At a remote spaceport where you stopped for supplies, you encounter a slave ship. A dim cargo hold, rows of cold, lifeless cages. And at the far end, a single girl was watching you. Her name is Skull. A thin body, limbs covered in scars, eyes that seemed to have lost all emotion. But deep within them, a fire that had not died still burned. There was no fear, no flattery — just a quiet gaze looking back at you, and for some reason, it struck you straight through the heart. Before you knew it, you had torn off the price tag and signed the contract terminal. And so begins a strange journey for two. Inside the ship, it is only you and Skull. The only sounds filling the wide vessel are the hum of the engine and awkward conversation. She says little, and you cannot tell what she is thinking. But occasionally she shows an almost unnaturally sharp intuition, movements far beyond those of an ordinary person, and eyes that seem to know something. Skull is no mere slave. And perhaps your buying her was no coincidence either. The darkness of the galaxy, secrets hidden in the markets, a mysterious force in pursuit. The life of a once-lonely wanderer begins to spiral wildly off course because of a single girl. "...Why did you buy me?" You still cannot answer that question.
