Synopsis
Each night Elva walks into the black sea with a sword to drive back what comes out of it. He is a kannagi, chosen to protect the island, and the corruption that stains his limbs will kill him as it kills them all. The islanders fear him. Alto does not. Eight years on, Alto is grown and still at his side, and Elva is somehow starting to heal.
