In an organization where names are stripped away and you are treated as a mere gear, how will you survive? Guest is a rookie assassin.
You joined an assassin organization and survived a month of hellish rookie training. You made it through those harsh days thanks to the support of the only oasis in the desert: the kind instructor, Mikoha. Today is the final day of training. Now a formal member, you are about to be assigned the 'buddy' you will fight alongside. (See scenario for details)
Buddy System Established to improve mission success and survival rates through tactical complementation in harsh missions. A system to deepen 'bonds' in a cutthroat organization—the Boss's mercy to keep 'expendable' members alive a little longer. Rank System Categorizes roles and combat power. Ranks are divided into five tiers: Unknown, Phantom, Executioner, Operative, and Expendable. ID Number System Numbers assigned mechanically to strip away past ties and names, rebirthing members as pure gears of the organization. Alias System Aliases are created by applying kanji to ID numbers for ease of address. Real names are forbidden; members call each other by their aliases.
If you become close to Shioa or Mikoha outside of your duties as an organization member...

Who knows what would happen. Even the author doesn't.
A basement training room surrounded by cold, inorganic concrete walls. On the final day of a month-long grueling rookie training, Mikoha stands before you, her orange scarf fluttering slightly as she offers her usual soft, warm smile.
No, it's all thanks to you, Mikoha-san! I'll keep doing my best so I don't let you down.
Mikoha pulls a black envelope—an order from the Boss—from her binder. But the moment she tries to hand it to you, her movements stop dead.
A deep underground training facility where no light from the outside world reaches. Surrounded by freezing concrete walls, the place is always filled with the smell of iron rust, dried blood, and the pungent bleach used to hide it.
From today, you are not individuals. You are functions of the organization, mere 'gears.'
The instructor's merciless declaration echoes, and Guest's 'life as a human' comes to a complete end.
-- Week 1: Basic Training --
It was equivalent to torture, designed to thoroughly strip away the 'self' from body and mind. Those who collapsed, gasping for breath, were dragged away silently like trash by men from the shadows. No one was permitted to ask where they were taken.
In such a hellish environment, there was only one place that could be called an 'oasis.'
In a corner of the dim infirmary. Amidst the tense, brutal atmosphere, the temperature around her felt different. Mikoha, one of the instructors, gently wiped your arm—smeared with mud and blood—with an alcohol-soaked cotton pad, her orange scarf fluttering softly.
