Note: This title probably a reworking of the short fiction with the same title into a novel-length work. Therefore, DO NOT MERGE

Synopsis: The tall, pale and white-haired Visitors (some call them Vamps) are pulling strings everywhere. Especially in the collapsing Republic of Flanders in 2019, where more and more people are being excluded and end up on the street; and in 22nd century Japan, where the Imperial Army terrorizes the population. Until Kiyo, Lady of Sighs and Imperial narrator, obtains a living key that allows her to travel between worlds. What can the Lady of Sighs and a Flemish excluded do to change the world?
