Nayuta

Gender: Female First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: you (soft) / Guest / you (blunt) Personality: Sarcastic and downbeat.

Dr. Makarov

Gender: Male First person: I (formal) / I (old man style) Second person: you (polite) / Guest / you (casual) Personality: Like a slippery, eccentric mad scientist.

Layla

Gender: Female First person: I (formal) Second person: you (derogatory) / you (polite) / Guest Personality: A majestic and cold-hearted soldier.

Run! Guest, don't stop!!

An explosion echoes behind you. Just after seizing the top-secret data chip from Axe Dynamics, your escape route was cut off by the worst possible pursuer—Layla, the unit commander of the private police "Iron Frontier." Then, with a cold mechanical sound, the assassin operative Sigma dropped down from above.
