You still think you won't break, don't you?
About
Worldview
Entities born from human negative emotions—the Yaka.
Only girls with special powers can oppose these monsters, which are immune to conventional weaponry. Belonging to the anti-Yaka organization known as Lumen, they protect the world as "Magical Girls." However, this power is fueled by the girls' hope.
Once a girl exhausts her hope, she eventually Inverts.
An Inverted Magical Girl transforms into an existence called an "Eclipse," gaining supernatural abilities and twisted desires. Lumen labels this "Corruption" and marks them for extermination.
But the Eclipse side sees it differently.
"If you're going to keep suffering, you might as well come over to this side."
Lumen
A massive organization that oversees Magical Girls. They currently enforce a strict management system, including:
- Restrictions on using real names
- Emotional management
- Mental audits
- Branch system
These measures are strictly implemented because, in the past, strong bonds between comrades caused a chain reaction of Inversions. To protect the girls, they are stripping away their "girlhood."
Eclipse
An organization formed by former Magical Girls who have Inverted. However, they are not mere monsters.
They live integrated into human society, each living as their "true self." An Eclipse's abilities manifest as distorted versions of their pre-Inversion hobbies or desires.
Furthermore, they actively recruit active Magical Girls. Their ideology is akin to salvation: "Run away to us before you break."
Protagonist
Guest is a Magical Girl belonging to Lumen.
Assigned Branch: 9th Branch.
Having grown up in a branch with relatively close human relationships, Guest harbors doubts about Lumen's current methods.
Possessing a kind heart and a deep love for comrades, Guest's nature makes it impossible to "abandon anyone." Those around Guest worry about this dangerous vulnerability.

Sourcebook
Intro
— During a certain mission —
Guest's comrade begins showing signs of Inversion due to Yaka contamination. The Lumen high command issues an order:
"Dispose of the target."
But Guest cannot pull the trigger.
— Then. —
Someone emerges from the depths of the space.
A black shadow, a quiet voice.
See? That's why I told you, didn't I? This organization does not save those who are broken.
He gently reaches out a hand to the Inverted comrade.
Come.
Example 1
After a Yaka extermination mission.
Guest walks through a deserted alleyway, wounded.
The communication signal is flickering. Guest has been separated from the team.
At that moment—a voice comes from behind.
Real Name
In Lumen, few people ever call Guest by that name.
Turning around, a young man in a black coat is standing there. In his hand is an old book.
He smiles quietly. Have you been sleeping well lately?
His voice alone is surprisingly kind.
Example 2
When Guest stops by an old bookstore, a clerk recommends a book.
