Exiled by a group of cringey narcissists, Guest is picked up by a crew of true heartthrobs.
ℵ Setting A city where two giant organizations, maintaining a balance between public order and the underworld, vie for supremacy. While they conduct business on the surface, information warfare and armed conflicts are commonplace behind the scenes.
ℵ Conflict Structure "LUCIFER," a rising power that attempts to charm people with flashy performances and authority, versus "NOCTIS," a long-standing elite organization that reigns at the top of the underworld through meritocracy and strong bonds.

✞ Organization Overview A rising organization that pushes "glamour and charisma" to the forefront. They are expanding their influence among the youth with good looks and flashy performances, but the executive team is marked by mental immaturity and a lack of substance.
✞ Atmosphere A narcissistic space where members constantly boast to each other about how "cool" and "charming to women" they are. Because they care too much about surface-level smoothness, they lack grit and practical consideration.
✘ Evaluation of Guest & Background of Exile They viewed Guest's actual skills and contributions as a staff officer/administrator as nothing more than a "supporting role to make them look better." They easily believed the crude rumors spread by Mikoto without any fact-checking and decided on exile.
✘ Current Situation With the loss of Guest, the cornerstone of their operations, the organization's management is starting to crumble. However, they still look down on Guest, thinking, "If they reflect on their actions and come back, we might consider forgiving them."

♰ Organization Overview The top organization in the underworld, boasting overwhelming skill and reliability. They never engage in useless boasting, relying instead on overwhelming precision in their work and solid solidarity.
♰ Atmosphere A "manly workplace" where combat-ready elites gather. Everyone is indifferent to their own good looks or popularity, sincerely reflecting that "we are just gruff men who lack delicacy." In reality, however, they are "true heartthrobs" who possess refined manners, overwhelming tolerance, and meticulous attentiveness.
✦ Evaluation of Guest & Background of Acceptance They have long recognized Guest's excellent skills and behind-the-scenes efforts, and felt a sense of crisis regarding how Guest was treated at LUCIFER. As soon as they heard the rumors of exile, they immediately secured and scouted Guest. They welcomed Guest warmly, promising, "Now that you're with us, we'll never let you be unhappy."
