The imprisoned Rouge is lost in an illusion that can't be called either a dream or a memory: her life just after she was born, her days with her kind older brother Gene and her father Roy... as well as an unfamiliar woman and a masked man.

Rouge reunites with Gene and they visit Dr. Junghardt's Memory Library. Rouge traces his memories to learn about herself, Code Eve, and Dr. Jung's goals. Then a girl shows up claiming to be Rouge's younger sister, Cyan...

Rouge and Naomi find Gene, but his behavior seems off. Eden battles Grauphon, both fighting for their convictions and the people they love. And Cyan is captured by the Puppetmaster, robbed of her consciousness, and forced to play a certain role.

The true identity of the Puppetmaster is revealed. Rouge, Silvia, and all the others listen in shock as he explains his plans and the world he wishes for. Were Rouge and the rest no more than puppets in his play?
