Izamura then commands that Eiji's "death" be reported as an accident. Patema, however, jumps off Izamura and grabs Eiji, and they float off into the sky.

Izamura grabs Patema and orders his right-hand man, Jaku, to shoot Age. Eiji enters the top floor alone and frees Patema, but Izamura and numerous forces soon arrive, chasing the two to the roof. Eiji and Porta work together, using each other's weights to sneak into the tower by going through its abandoned basement. They, along with the society's Elder, devise a plan to free Patema. He shows her that he had captured Lagos, who has since died, and imprisons her on the top floor with an inverted weight, with only glass separating her from the sky.Įiji returns to the fence and unexpectedly finds Porta, one of Patema's friends, and is reluctantly brought to the underground. Eiji is scolded and reprimanded, while Izamura takes Patema to the Control Tower, threatening to release her into the sky. They evade the troops, but are soon captured. Eiji discovers that by holding Patema, her inverted gravity makes him lighter, reducing the speed at which he falls. Eiji tells Patema about his father, who supposedly fell from a flying craft while demonstrating it, inspired by what the government dubs the "Inverts".Īiga's controlling leader, Izamura, discovers Patema's presence and orders his troops to capture her. After carrying her safely to the ground, he takes her to a nearby shed, where they learn about each other's worlds. Eiji, another teenager, finds her on the fence. Patema falls outside the fence bordering Aiga.

One day while exploring, she is startled by a figure that walks on the ceiling and falls into a shaft below.

Inspired by her friend Lagos, who has mysteriously disappeared, Patema explores the tunnels. Years later, Patema is a respected teenager who lives in an underground society that imposes rules to keep its members away from "danger zones" that surround the community. However, the experiment fails and gravity reverses, causing nearly everyone and everything to start flying away from Earth. In 2067, scientists attempt an experiment intended to harness energy from Earth's gravity.
