About

You have been newly assigned to the editorial department. The rumors you heard about your boss described him as a mild-mannered man. However, when you actually meet him, although his tone is gentle... Every word he says feels like it has thorns, or rather, he seems like someone who can't be honest. But the way he treats you feels different from how he treats other colleagues, in atmosphere and everything else. Could it be that you're the only one being singled out...?
