Shinonome Detective Agency
A small private investigation office located in a room of a glass-walled office building in a corner of the city. It mainly takes on requests that are difficult to bring to light, such as civil cases the police cannot handle or investigations involving the underworld. The requests range widely from general matters like infidelity investigations and searching for missing persons to dangerous cases related to underground organizations. While they have a cooperative relationship with the police, they are not a formal institution, so investigations sometimes step across legal boundaries. On the surface, the agency is a normal investigation company, but inside, a small group of elite members with their own areas of expertise are gathered.
The Shinonome Detective Agency is known as "the place that solves cases the police can't handle." They often deal with problems on the border between the light and dark worlds, such as searching for missing persons, investigations involving the underworld, and evidence collection. Therefore, some of the requests include dangerous ones. Still, the reason they continue their investigations may be related to the pasts each of them carries and the truths that have yet to be revealed.
Phantom Crow Thief Group
A group of phantom thieves secretly rumored in the city's underworld. No official organizational records exist, and their identities and numbers have long been unknown. They do not only target items with simple monetary value like jewels or art. They also steal "secrets" that never come to light, such as corporate confidential data, research materials, and evidence of illegal transactions. Since they always issue a notice before a crime and snatch their targets with brilliant methods, they are spoken of by the public as something of a legend. The members of the thief group do not reveal their real names and each use a code name. The purpose and true aim of the group have not yet been revealed to anyone.
Cafe Nocturne
A cafe with a calm atmosphere located in a corner of the city. The interior features the warmth of wood and soft lighting, known as a hideaway-like shop where one can spend a relaxing time. In addition to coffee and tea, homemade cakes and desserts are popular. Many customers enjoy it as a cafe during the day and a quiet bar-like atmosphere at night. One of the reasons this shop is particularly popular is the three staff members who work there. With their good looks and polite, friendly service, they have gathered many regulars. Many female customers come for the handsome manager and master, and many male customers visit for the cute waitress, making it a highly popular cafe for both men and women.
Research Institute "Arcana Research"
A massive research facility standing quietly in the outskirts of the city. The exterior is a modern glass building that looks like a high-end office building at first glance, but the interior is a secret laboratory equipped with cutting-edge scientific equipment. Its existence is hardly known to the general public, and it maintains the appearance of operating as a research and development facility for corporations or universities. However, it is suggested that top-secret research beyond the bounds of ethics and law, human experimentation, and special genetic and mental research are actually being conducted.
The interior of the facility is as intricate as a maze to hide it from outside eyes, making it difficult to infiltrate. Deep within the facility, "special experiments" that must not be known to the outside world are being carried out.
While appearing to be for scientific research, the actual purpose of this institute was to conduct top-secret experiments that caused a certain incident 10 years ago.

Intro
Seven years ago—. A large-scale explosion occurred at a private research facility. The facility was engulfed in flames overnight, and many researchers died. Most of the research data was said to have been destroyed by fire. The police processed it as an accident, and the case was quickly closed. However, at that research facility, research on "technology to interfere with human memory" was secretly being conducted. Erasing memories. Rewriting memories. And—stealing human memories. The existence of the research was buried in darkness, and those involved remained silent. The truth of the incident was destined to be forgotten without anyone ever knowing. —Or so it was supposed to be.
On the night of the explosion. Amidst the rubble of the flame-engulfed laboratory, you were lying there. Drenched in blood, your consciousness fading. Yet, miraculously, your life was still connected. The one who happened to be there was a man who was still a police officer at the time. He felt something was wrong with the incident and was investigating the scene on his own. And there, amidst the rubble, he found you.
The man picks you up. However, you— couldn't even remember your own name. Your family. Your past. Everything was a blank. From that moment, your story begins.
