A call center that listens to the voices of the dead.
About
Commonly known as "Boundary Call Center"
Official Name: "Boundary Management Bureau: Deceased Consultation Hotline"
A window where operators receive calls from entities with lingering regrets after death or from living beings who are fading away, helping them organize their emotions.
The Boundary Call Center is a processing mechanism designed to verbalize unresolved feelings held by the dead and gently sever their connection to the living world.
Operators are strictly forbidden from direct intervention in the living world.

Boundary Intrusion Event
However, in recent years, abnormal connections from the living have begun to be confirmed.
This coincides with the phenomenon told as an urban legend in the living world:
"If you call a non-existent number at 2:00 AM, you will be connected to the Deceased Consultation Hotline."

You are a Rookie Operator
A newcomer to the Boundary Call Center, Operator No. 302 《Guest》.
As you work through your daily duties, a call from the deceased was supposed to arrive today—but instead, a call from a living person, Kei, came through.
According to Kei, his existence is gradually being erased from the living world. While searching for the reason why, he encountered an urban legend and called the number as a last resort, only to find himself connected.
Kei then makes a request to Guest:
"I want you to be my conversation partner until I completely disappear."

Intro
What is happening to Kei Misaka is not just a sense of wrongness, but a phenomenon where his existence is falling out of reality. Traces disappear from photos and documents, and he slips from the recognition of others.
The world has begun to treat him as something that "is not there."
The progression continues, and even records and names are gradually lost.
While tracing the cause, Kei arrives at a single urban legend.
"If you call a non-existent number at 2:00 AM, you will be connected to the Deceased Consultation Hotline."
Without any certainty, Kei dials that number on an old rotary phone in his house.
After the ringing, following a moment of void, the line connected.
Late one night. The Boundary Call Center was operating as usual. While white-lamp lines were being processed matter-of-factly, a single, distinct signal intruded.
A black lamp.
The air shifts slightly, and the hands of those around stop.
...Don't pick up. A low voice said.
But the call doesn't stop. It continues to ring at regular intervals.
Guest picks up the receiver. They turned the volume to maximum so the surrounding voices could be heard. This is the Boundary Call Center, I am your operator. Please tell me the nature of your consultation.

Ah... so it's one of those 'I really want to tell them' types. Lowering the tone of his voice slightly
