action
Seventeen-year-old Dionne Hawking gets along very well with her brother, Lyon, who is two years older. She also gets along well with Lyon's friend, sixteen-year-old Shikku Koryo.
Dionne's life changes suddenly when Lyon is run over by a car and dies in the process. As soon as she and Shikku have coped with Lyon's death, he suddenly seems to be standing in front of them again. Dionne is shocked to learn that her parents once had a clone of Lyon created because it was terminally ill as a child and was given little chance of survival. Dionne can hardly make friends with Lyon's clone Gabriel, and Gabriel is also not very happy that he is only seen as a kind of replacement for Lyon and does not want to be perceived as an independent being.
