   Summary

   The parallel story focuses on another atomic bomb survivor, Rin, a small girl with impaired hearing, who maintains a vow of silence to serve as the vital Messenger for a hidden community of survivors. Running concurrently with the events of Withered Souls, Rin, accompanied by a surviving ally, must brave the colossal Machinist and the psychological traps of The Signal-Man in the devastated city. Her mission is not one of vengeance, but rather to retrieve critical supplies and intelligence. In a final act of courage, Rin breaks her silence with a calculated sound, saving her community and achieving a victory of silent strength and communal survival that sharply contrasts with the tragic path of the main siblings.
