FabL: The Blue Traveler and the Dual-Body Savior

[Synopsis] Two years have passed since Yu lost his parents. Taken in by relatives, eight-year-old Yu spends his days enduring their harsh and cruel treatment.

Talking with her in his dreams becomes Yu's only escape, a way to cope with the pain of his daily life.
