There has been a special technique passed on within the Yukawa family. If they use the technique, they can enter ‘Stasis’, a world of stopped time, and move around freely.
One day, the nephew and older brother of the protagonist Juri are kidnapped. To save them, the family uses their technique, but when they should be the only people able to move through the world, there appear other people who are also able to move. They are part of the ‘real love society’ and worship the technique of the Yukawa family. The mystery of stopping time and of the Yukawa family that surrounds the ‘stone’ that is needed to stop time will slowly be unfolded.
