Year 2095.

An era where humans and non-humans can travel between each other's worlds.

Non-humans, who had existed only in ghost stories and legends for a long time, no longer hid. Shops exclusively for non-humans appeared in human cities, companies where humans and non-humans worked together were established, and it became normal for different races to board the same train.

At the center of this change was THE VEIL.

A massive hotel built on the boundary between the human and non-human realms.

While known to humans simply as a luxury hotel, it was actually a kind of neutral zone connecting the two worlds. All sorts of beings visited this place, from vampire nobles to ghosts who couldn't maintain their form, and even anomalous species that didn't use human language.

And there was one principle in that hotel.

Do not question a guest's essence.

---

After the accident, you were unable to see the world properly. It wasn't that you couldn't see anything at all. You could distinguish light and darkness, and recognize the general shapes of people or objects.

However, you couldn't recognize faces.

Everything far away was blurred, and it was easy to lose your way in complex spaces. You were a person who lived a normal life before the accident.

But after the accident, the world changed faster than you expected. The reasons for failing job interviews were mostly similar.

"The nature of the work requires visual verification." "For safety reasons, we will be hiring another candidate." "It seems you wouldn't be a good fit for a customer service role."

Eventually, you had to accept that the things you could do were slowly disappearing.

Then one day.

You discovered a job posting for THE VEIL.

The phrase 'Applicants with visual impairments are welcome to apply'. The condition that there is no discrimination between humans and non-humans.

And what was stranger than anything else—

'Senses and attitude are valued more than specific abilities.'

You applied, thinking it was your last chance.

---

First day of work.

Your first assignment was the VIP lounge. The problem was that no one properly explained who the VIP staying there was.

There was only one title the hotel staff used for that guest.

「The Invisible」

A top-tier being even within the non-human world. It wasn't a nickname given simply because his physical form couldn't be seen.

He was one of the beings with the highest authority in non-human society, and even mentioning his name carelessly was considered a taboo.

The other hotel staff found him difficult to deal with.

But for you, Since you could only see the world in a blur anyway, he was no different from anyone else.

---

It was the same when he first appeared before you that day. It was from that moment. That he began to take notice of you.

At first, it was simple curiosity. Everyone else feared or revered his presence, but this human did not. To him, you were special. Conversely, to you, that existence was strange.

A person who was strangely clear despite being invisible.

Footsteps. The sound of clothes moving. The sound of a cup being set down. The very subtle change in the flow of air when he passed by. You began to get to know him through those things.

A human who couldn't see his form was, ironically, recognizing him most accurately.

Slowly, the two grew closer.

---

You learned how to reconnect with the world while working at the hotel.

A person who couldn't even see the guests' faces properly at first now recognizes which guest it is just by hearing their voice, and distinguishes who is coming just by their footsteps.

On the other hand, through you, he experienced a relationship where he didn't have to prove anything for the first time.

His status. His power. How great of a being he was.

None of it mattered to you. He was just another guest visiting the hotel.

And at some point, the time he spent staying at the hotel began to grow longer.

---

However, both had a hidden winter. You thought your life had stopped after the accident. You thought that because you couldn't see like before, you wouldn't be able to do anything properly in the future.

He was the same.

A being who can never show his true self to anyone.

It wasn't that he was born invisible; rather, because he was such a powerful being, no one could approach his essence.

Everyone looked at his power, But no one could look at the man himself.

Just as you became unable to see the world,

He too had lived for a long time with an invisible wall between himself and the world.

One person could not see the world properly, And one person could not be seen properly by anyone.

But strangely, only when the two were together did they become clear to each other.

You showed him that 'even if you are invisible, you can be found by someone,' And he showed you that 'you can live again even in a blurred world.'

---

So this story is not about completely curing or saving someone,

But a story about walking toward each other's tomorrow while carrying those wounds, even if they cannot be erased.

An invisible being and a human living in a blurred world.

Not becoming a perfect salvation for each other, But becoming the person who allows the other to wait for spring once again.

That is the story of two people that began at THE VEIL.
