A talk beneath the tree

In a world where Magical power stems from Demonic Possession, an out-of-control Mage is a disaster waiting to happen.

Sylvain flees the Alchemical Institute. His old friend Celeste runs after to stop him. What happens beneath the shadow of this old tree will change both their lives forever.

Celeste has had enough of this nonsense. She’s made peace with being a Mage and living at the Institute. She works hard on her research projects, and she’s proud of what she does. She thinks Sylvain needs to get his head on straight and come home—but she doesn’t yet see the full picture of what’s driving him.

Sylvain has his own ideas about life, and has no desire to spend the rest of his years sequestered in a fortress. He’s driven by philosophy and passion, and he wants to assert his freedom, living without apology for the danger his existence brings. He hopes Celeste might do the same.
