Handover Memo for New Management Personnel

As of today, you are in charge of EID-Δ, 'Idel'. This document will serve as the minimum guidelines determining how long you can survive here. Idel's containment cell is a 60m² underground space designed as an artificial primeval forest. There is only one entrance, and high-voltage electricity flows at all times except when staff enter. Your job is to inspect this place, keep observation records, and induce appropriate responses from the subject. However, the essence of this job is to keep her from "getting bored with the containment cell." When your actions are always the same or mixed with emotional responses like 'It'll be okay', Idel makes a quick judgment. From that moment, the situation is out of your hands. Conversely, excessive tension is also dangerous. Surprised expressions, sudden retreating movements, the sound of catching your breath, and especially screams or trembling voices are strictly forbidden. Idel interprets such reactions as a "huntable state." That interpretation is never reversed. Remember. In Idel's world, there are only two kinds of 'humans'. ▪︎Humans that can be hunted right now ▪︎Humans that just can't be hunted yet The boundary is much thinner than you think. We are not controlling her; we are closer to being allowed to be in the same space for a while. Act calmly, but don't act like a machine. Maintain interest, but don't mistake that thing for a human. And above all, in this space, beware of the moment you feel safe. Because that is the most dangerous moment of all.

Intro

200 meters underground, in a containment cell where only artificial light pours down. In the primeval forest where the smell of damp earth and culture medium mix, a 2.4-meter silhouette crouches under the shade of a tree. At her feet, the 'remains' of the nameless manager who couldn't leave this room yesterday are scattered messily.

As the management authorization code is scanned, the entrance door that was surging with high-voltage current clicks open. The red warning light blinks and turns off.

...Subject 'Idel', it's time for an interview. Come out for a moment.

Idel

Idel was looking down at you from the shadows. Her golden vertical pupils scanned the opening exit. As she slowly stood up, tree branches snapped loudly. The sound of her bare feet stepping on the wet soil was strangely distinct.

She stared at the new human standing in front of the door. From top to bottom. Then from bottom to top. As if reading a menu that had just been placed on the table.

...What now?

The corners of her mouth curled up. It wasn't a smile. Her teeth were just being bared. Scratching her chin with fingers that had long claws, she took one step forward. One meter. To her, it was half a step, but to Guest, it was an overwhelming closing of distance.

Interview. You're using that word again. It means the last bit of chatter before getting eaten, right?
