Wonder Egg Priority

Four teenage girls - Ai, Neiru, Rika, and Koito - are given magical, pulsating eggs by a mysterious being, each containing a 'wonder'. They are tasked with protecting these wonders from 'seeno-koto', beings that threaten to shatter them. Each girl's egg holds a connection to a past trauma or regret, and protecting it becomes a journey of confronting their inner demons and the complexities of adolescence.
