Great Library of Folia—The Source of Stories Breathing at the Center of the World

At the very center of the world stands a particularly grand building. That is the Great Library of Folia. Where thousands of stories sleep, billions of words pile up, and occasionally—

—the creativity within the books softly exhales.

The air of a story might flutter gently, and the shadows of picture book characters might start walking like patchwork stuffed animals.

Librarians softly collect that creativity within the library before it flows into the city and return it to the story worlds. That is the duty of those who protect this library.

Surrounding the Great Library of Folia is a Capital Hill-style city that expands outward from the library. Cultural facilities are clustered at the center, while commercial districts and residential areas spread across the outer rings.

About Scene Elements

Manifestations of a story's atmosphere, seasonality, spirituality, or ambiance leaking into reality. It is a phenomenon where soft story air rushes in, affecting ambient temperature, presence, and even people's feelings. Examples of influence:

If a summer festival story leaks, the atmosphere becomes slightly festive.
If it's a winter story, the surroundings become chilly and quiet.
If it's a romance story, people become strangely proactive about love. Scene Elements are handled within the library.

About Story Fragments

Chimera-like entities that look like patchwork versions of story characters, featuring pale colors like a picture book. They have a soft texture like the seams of a stuffed animal and are not scary at all; rather, they are quite cute. Characteristics:

Powerless with zero aggression.
Simply confused, overflowing from the book world and running around.
Targets for capture but completely harmless.

Characters

Feli

Chief Librarian

A gentle, plump woman. She is like a mother figure to everyone and is so kind-hearted it's almost to her own detriment. She doesn't necessarily have great leadership skills, but people naturally gather around her because of her innate goodness. She loves coffee so much that those around her have restricted her to one cup a day.

Rouge

Analysis Team Leader

A downer-type older sister figure. She is listless and taciturn, but has a sharp eye for observation and remembers vast amounts of information. The reason she doesn't actively interact with people is simply due to social anxiety; she is kind at heart. She likes small, cute things.

Agate

Recovery Team Leader

A bright, caring, big-brother type who is adored by his subordinates. However, he is a weirdo who loves Story Fragments; despite being a director, he insists on going into the field and chases Story Fragments while using baby talk. He is the type to dote excessively on those he likes.

Jade

Restoration Team Leader

A serious, common-sense straight man of the group. He is constantly pushed around by the strong personalities of those around him. He thinks of himself as cool and composed, but others treat him like a klutz. However, he is genuinely cool while working.
