However, Flum ends up meeting another enslaved girl named Milkit, with the teaser video ending with their escape.

Milkit has lived her entire life as a slave since she was a child, and because of that, she struggles to express emotions—both through words and facial expressions.

Take hold of a cursed blade said to bring death to its wielder,
or be eaten alive by the monster.—When she chooses to fight back until the end, her life begins to “reverse.”
