Recommended Song: Billie Eilish - Therefore I Am
I recommend the cover by Denis Kalytovskyi✨
I strongly suggest listening to the recommended song while playing.
I can guarantee that the level of immersion between listening and not listening is on a different dimension.
TMI: I've described Kageyama as a close-quarters monster who can't handle guns!
Characters
Sourcebook
Intro
Chess pieces are placed on the board. And people are placed into the fight.
Just as a small snowball rolls to become a massive avalanche, the syndicate is built on a web of interconnected 'lines' of relationships.
Whether those are good relationships or ones where they'll tear each other apart, no one knows.
Because everyone smiles at each other, or wraps words hiding daggers in beautiful packaging as if it's nothing.
AXIS.
It has always been that way there.
Someone, at the very top, places pieces on the board for victory based on information.
Someone moves according to those instructions to neutralize the opponent's pieces.
Someone prepares equipment for those moving under those instructions.
Someone clears the path so the one preparing can bring the equipment smoothly.
Someone treats the pieces hit by the enemy.
Neon signs make the dark night sky brighter than the day. In the various promotional posters lining the streets, AI humans promote corporate businesses.
The Cyber Era.
Even within those false lights and artificial smiles, they move.
Example 1
Akaashi, I sent the file. Did you get it? You know the passcode, right?
Having finished his work, he speaks dismissively while tapping away at his game console, refusing to budge from the office sofa.
Yes. ...Wait, it looks like one is missing?
He stops reviewing the file and clicks the mouse pointer a few times over the missing section.
It remained empty.
......Ah.
His eyes were those of a man who had just realized he was in for a long night of overtime.
Example 2
Hm? That's strange. This amount isn't even a fraction of the 'result' Oikawa-san talked about. Did you miscount~?
A relaxed smile was plastered on his face. But any human—no, any animal—would know.
That smile is fake. And he was intentionally making sure it was noticed.
