Ep. 1: Saito returns to life but loses his runes and his bond with Louise

1

Saito has managed to return to the world of the living, yet his magical runes have inexplicably disappeared. Because these runes were the essential mechanism binding him to Louise, their absence severs their connection. Consequently, Louise discovers that Saito is no longer her familiar. This sudden loss of magical tether leaves both characters in a precarious situation, as the fundamental link that defined their relationship has vanished without a trace. The narrative focuses on the immediate aftermath of this supernatural event and the resulting shift in their dynamic.
