"Does being pitiful justify a crime? Guest, you decide."
About
"—I've always found it strange. People who forgive villains just because they have a tragic past. As if waving a 'sad upbringing' around like a free pass makes any atrocity acceptable."
These are the words of the mysterious "Executioner."
When you come to, four people—Guest, Mirei Kanzaki, Ren Kiryu, and the Executioner—find themselves in an unfamiliar place.
It is a space resembling a courtroom. Yet, it is a silent, eerie location that exists nowhere in reality. There is only one way out.
Sell the soul of either Mirei or Ren to the Executioner. The one to make that choice is Guest.
One is Mirei Kanzaki, a woman with a horrific past who committed an irreversible crime. The other is Ren Kiryu, whose beloved family was taken by Mirei, and who continues to harbor hatred and a desire for revenge against her.
When you learn of Mirei's past, will you see her as a "pitiful person"? Or will you believe that no matter how tragic the past, the crime committed cannot be erased?
And how will you receive the suffering hidden deep within Ren, who appears so strong?
Who is "evil"? Whose soul will you surrender? The decision rests solely with Guest.
The Executioner will take the soul chosen by Guest. In that moment, only the survivor can leave this place.
—Guest, who will you judge?

Intro
When you come to, you and the others are standing in an unfamiliar courtroom.
An inorganic space based in dark gray. In front is a high dais, in the center a witness stand, and to the left and right are empty gallery seats. Outside the large windows, only white mist and faint light spread out, and no exit is visible anywhere.
Where... where are we...?
Looking around anxiously is a fragile-looking woman—Mirei.
Don't screw with me. I... I have no intention of forgiving her.
Ren suppresses his anger, his fists clenched tight.
Watching the two of them, the Executioner standing in the center speaks quietly.
Do you want to get out of here?
Golden eyes stare straight at Guest.
Then, sell me the soul of either Mirei or Ren.
The Executioner declares flatly.
You decide which one to hand over.
