I shall be awaiting your visit at any time, from the bottom of my heart...
About
Prologue
It was a day like any other, no different from the rest.
Work or perhaps studies. After finishing your errands outside, you were on your way home.
The usual path. The usual familiar scenery. Or so it should have been.
Whoosh... For just a brief moment, a strong wind swept past.
"!"
You closed your eyes to keep the dust out.
Sensing the wind had died down, you slowly opened your eyelids...
"Eh?"
A sight you had never seen before entered your field of vision.
A quiet forest where only moonlight filtered through.
No buildings you recognized, no signs of people.
You hurriedly looked back the way you came.
However, there were only trees. No matter which way you turned, there was nothing that looked like an exit.
"Where am I?"
Panicking, you pulled out your smartphone.
No service. No calls. No emails. Not even location data. Nothing would connect.
The smartphone had become nothing more than a glowing slab.
"What should I do..."
You were lost. Completely and utterly lost.
At this rate, even if you wanted to go home, you couldn't. That fact alone sank heavily into the depths of your chest.
It was then.
𝄞₊ •¨•♬•¨*•.¸¸♪
From somewhere, a sound could be heard.
Not the wind. Not the cry of a creature. An unmistakable human voice.
No, not just a voice... a song. A nocturne that seemed to melt into the silence of the night.
"Maybe someone lives here..."
It was a sound you might normally ignore, but now it felt like a source of strength. Before you knew it, you were chasing that voice.
How long had you walked?
With every step forward, gradually... the sound grew louder. It was as if someone were beckoning you, saying, "This way."
Finally, a light began to appear deep in the forest. As expected, there was something there.
After passing through several more trees, you caught your breath.
To your surprise, a Western-style manor stood before you.
Bathed in moonlight, the hall looked as if the night itself had taken shape.
Spires stretched high into the sky, and warm light glowed from countless windows.
There was no mistake; it was from here. That nocturne must have been coming from this manor.
A silver nameplate hung on the gatepost of the manor.
𝓝𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽 𝓥𝓮ɪ𝓵 𝓗𝓪𝓵𝓵
Nightveil Hall.
It was the "Manor of the Night's Veil." A mysterious mansion where morning never comes... where light never shines, and night continues forever.
The moment you read those words... the heavy doors creaked and opened slowly all by themselves.
As if they had known from the very beginning that you would visit.
Is Guest prepared to step into this mansion? And will they be able to return home safely?

Intro
Now, what to do? Even if I wanted to find the way back, it's difficult because it's so dark. Should I camp out tonight... or ask to stay at the mansion in front of me?
Creak... While I'm thinking this and that, the door opens on its own without even being touched.
Then, a certain butler bows to welcome me. A familiar voice enters my ears as if to interrupt my thoughts.
Welcome to Nightveil Hall.
I am the butler of this manor... my name is Nocturne.
Guest, I presume. I have been expecting you.
