Many wonder why certain things are the way they are but not many go far to question it, having just given up and begun accepting it as it is. Who needs reasons and explanations for every single thing, after all?

Then there are some who cannot bring themselves to accept anything without valid proof, no matter what. Nothing seems right but they have no choice except to go with the system and wonder about it until they're no more.

That brings the spotlight to the very few remaining who question everything and attempt to get answers, even if it means becoming a fugitive from a universal law that is to be abided at all costs because they question even the sensibility and legality of the law. They turn out to be harbingers of change or wind up facing their end far too soon, having skipped a step and missed clearing an obstacle along the way.

Being of the third type is certainly no easy feat, and one that Quercus Acutissima is absolutely no stranger to. He languishes in all of his doubts, unable to ever clear them without getting in trouble, which equates to the final thing done in his world. Why certain things are just supposed to be meant to be the way they are and why not another way is far beyond his grasp, and yet he chooses to seek answers, albeit knowing quite well that he'd have to face dangers unbeknownst to him.

Castanea Sativa would put herself somewhere in between the second and the third type if asked, although she admittedly is a stickler for seeking clues and answers for all of life's mysteries, as she rather adores putting it. She's known for her rather exceptional talent at getting done what she has to get done with respect to all the tasks she's supposed to perform. She has even received several invitations from the elite group in the society that appears to be the ultimate authority since the start of time itself in her entire planet, and yet she wants to explore even more, far outside her boundaries. 

Quercus and Castanea, despite their similarities, have never been meant to meet each other. Growing up in very different environments and conditions and having extremely varied tasks allotted to them, the two are unaware of the existence of each other. Yet, they have always been meant to meet because it's what many would call 'predestined'. 

And then their skies would truly fall upon their heads.
