His mother vanished. His father killed himself. Vaan, now 21 has no friends, no money, no family, and no hope. All his dreams has vanished. Unable to escape the horror of his own memories, his life has been in stasis.
But with a bit of luck and a bit of effort Vaan manages to make his first real friend since childhood. Duncan, a man who has watched the growing railline destroy his entire home city, was disowned after denying his birthright.
Vaan and Duncan become fast friends with troubled pasts. Now, with Duncan's help and the 'encouragement' of a local priest, Vaan decides his life has remained in a quagmire too long. Only by selling his house and everything he owns will he have a chance to become a wandering scholar.
Every year around the FreePort Solstice Festival (and his birthday) Vaan has terrible nightmares of his fahter's chronic pain. But the night before the festival Vaan has a dream unlike any before. He wakes up thinking he has gone blind - but it isn't just that, he can feel something, something cold pawing at his head as though it is absorbing his very thoughts.
