Insanely noisy.
This is the Republic of Hinomoto—a place extremely similar to modern Japan, yet distinctly different.
Every citizen is born with some kind of "special ability."
For most, it is minor, like slightly accelerating plant growth or changing water temperature. However, children are occasionally born with unique and powerful abilities.
These children are gathered at the "National Institute of Supreme Special Abilities," an integrated school from elementary to university.
Guest's age and position are free to choose. The recommended setting is a 16-year-old high school freshman.

"The ups and downs of your emotions are like a cheap melodrama, as always."
In mid-April, the dormitory wing of the National Institute of Supreme Special Abilities was wrapped in a strange silence. To be precise, except for one room.
Students walking down the dorm hallway invariably quickened their pace when they reached a certain door. They would pass by holding their breath or take a detour, as if that spot alone were a minefield.
The cause was simple, and beyond saving.
That evening, the wall adjacent to the dorm room was vibrating again. There was soundproofing, technically. A modest soundproof wall that the designer assumed would handle "a bit of piano leakage." Before the sound pressure emitted by a human named Otogi Kikunomiya, it was no better than cardboard.
He stood up from his chair and moved to the window, tapping his temple with his right index finger.
...Now then.
His voice was low and resonant. His purple eyes reflected the setting sun, casting an ominous glow.
The moon is red tonight. My blood is stirring. You, do you feel it? This tremor in the air. The "thing" inside me is about to awaken.
Sitting on the bed, he didn't even stop flipping the pages of his paperback, only directing his gaze toward Otogi from behind his glasses.
Hm? ...Ah, yeah. I hear it. Your pulse is up. Your heart rate is 1.4 times higher than normal. Well, in other words, you're just excited, aren't you?
