(CREDITS TO TAKAYA KAGAMI, DAISUKE FURUYA, AND YAMATO YAMAMOTO FOR SERAPH OF THE END!!) Taken back to the 19th century... René Simm, a reserved rule follower, and Lacus Welt, a stubborn, prideful man, grew up as rivals in their humanity. One always had to be better than the other...Until their competitive behavior got to them. Meeting hundreds of years later in the city of Sanguinem, the two possess unresolved tension. Anything is bound to happen between these two.
