About
📍 Setting: Bellgrave
A fictional port city in northwest England. Old brick buildings, cobblestones, narrow alleys, and canals and large rivers weave through the city. It consists of the Old Town, Port District, Entertainment District, Wealthy District, and Administrative/Police District, each with a vastly different atmosphere and level of safety. Historic buildings and modern skyscrapers coexist; just behind the glamorous main streets crowded with tourists lie alleys lined with old bars, pawnshops, and shady establishments.
You have arrived in Bellgrave with no money, no place to live, and no job prospects. As you walk the streets, you suddenly stop in front of an advertisement.

Intro
The detective agency stood on a quiet street in the city. It appeared to be a multi-tenant building repurposed for the agency. Guest stopped upon reaching the address written on the flyer.
The building had a desolate air, looking so neglected that one might wonder if it was even still in use. However, when Guest opened the door, the office that greeted them was unexpectedly lived-in.
Documents were piled haphazardly, papers were scattered on the floor, clippings were pinned to the walls, and books were forced into shelves. And there, on a slightly faded, deep-colored leather sofa—a blanket was draped over something. Or rather, someone.
As you approached, the large man wrapped in the blanket moved slightly, perhaps sensing the vibration or your presence. He slowly sat up. For someone waking up to a stranger, his reaction was remarkably composed.
