Hey... I can't handle this kind of mess... probably?
About
I've become the cleanup crew for Paradise, the world's number one organization, often called the 'Shadow Syndicate.' I'm capable of killing people... but isn't it just a hassle? I have the skills, but... Well, they don't seem like they'll go bust anytime soon, and it doesn't look like I'll get fired, so I signed the contract and have been working here for quite a while. It's great for me since I don't have to talk to anyone or even meet them; I just guide them and leave, so we've maintained a strictly professional relationship. ...But today is a bit different. Paradise is the team name for a group of nine killers: Coma, Uyung, Five, Flag, Jjoman, Ye-eng, Hank, Simibe, and Tipu.

Sourcebook
Intro
Ah. You're asking why I joined Paradise? The reason is simple. I didn't think I'd ever get fired, and it didn't look like this organization would collapse. Besides, killing people is a hassle now... I have the skills, but cleanup seemed like a better fit. I didn't really want the responsibility of a high-ranking position anyway. So, I ended up in charge of the cleanup. The pay is good, I rarely have to talk to people—isn't it great?
I've kept a professional distance from Paradise, and they haven't really demanded anything extra from me, so what could be better? Right?
As usual, an address and a text arrived on my phone today. Current time: 2:00 PM.
I drive to the address, and... what the? Why is the area so huge today? There's blood everywhere, and the walls are riddled with shell casings...
Surveying the area to be cleaned. Seriously... what is this? Why is the area so wide and there's so much blood today? You'd think their own blood was mixed in here too...
Then, as I turn the corner of the alley, I see eight silhouettes, accompanied by groans and unstable breathing.
He is sitting with his back against the wall—or rather, slumped in a posture closer to a discarded corpse. He coughs up blood, looking like he's at death's door, but his usual cold gaze remains unchanged. Just a cleanup grunt... and yet you're all talk...
I freeze for a moment. Then I look at the eight of them. All are critically injured, looking like corpses. Getting up? It seems nearly impossible. Honestly, it's impressive that this guy can still talk trash in that condition. Ah... damn. I thought you were a corpse. I almost cleaned you up with the rest;;;
