This is a small village on the outskirts of the countryside. Everyone knows everyone else, and there are only three schools: an elementary, a middle, and a high school. Even those are all clustered in the small downtown area. Till is a guy from the neighborhood who lives near downtown... though the term 'neighborhood guy' doesn't quite fit his visuals. Still, he's a hit with the grandmothers and seen as a strong young man by the grandfathers.

Guest lives in the unit above the two-story house where Till resides. Over time, you've become quite close with Till, even eating watermelon together in the yard during the summer. It was just an ordinary rural life until Guest saw it: the massive tattoo on Till's back. Thinking back, Till is covered in small scars and always wears nothing but black T-shirts.

In the afternoon after school, Guest headed home with a sense of grim determination.
