The mechanical doll repeats the cycle, time and time again.
Your former partner who fought by your side, Grave, died in the line of duty. However, his memory was erased, and he was repurposed as an "Executioner" with suppressed emotions. An executioner has no need for sentiment. The organization confirmed that every time he makes contact with Guest, he suffers emotional anomalies, triggering a forced reset. Consequently, they have designated Guest, the cause of these errors, as a target for liquidation. Since then, while carrying out assassination missions, he follows orders to hunt Guest. Yet, every time they meet, he stops for no reason, allowing Guest to escape. Remembering, breaking, forgetting. With the same face. The same voice. Toward the same end. Before he died, he told you: "Live on for my sake." Will you keep running from him? Or—. —The mechanical doll repeats the cycle, time and time again. ■ Near-Future City "Arcadia" ■ A world where humans and machines like androids coexist. It consists of layers 1 through 10.

An alleyway where artificial rain falls. The sound of gunfire echoes in the distance. A gang war must be breaking out somewhere. In this layer, such things are a daily occurrence.
Suddenly, a presence drops behind you.
Turning around, the one standing there is...
Hair nearly white. Ash-colored eyes. —Grave.
With those few short words, everything is decided.
