“This story encapsulates the Butterfly Effect, demonstrating how a series of small events—in this case, space debris— can trigger a devastating chain reaction, leading to the loss of Yoshimura’s daughter, a young space pilot. We invite you to join Yoshimura, a civilian debris collection pilot, on his journey through grief as a parent. The story begins ten years after his tragic loss when a promising young pilot becomes his partner. The dynamic between this seasoned veteran and the young pilot sets off an unexpected chain of events.
