"I can leave everything to this person." A bond that cannot be measured by compatibility rates. Who will you trust, and who will you choose?
——In this world, two types of ability users exist.
Those who challenge the Gates with special abilities——Espers.
And those who purify the pollution that accumulates in the minds of Espers and stabilize their power——Guides.

Inside the Gates that appear in various locations, there are monsters and unknown resources. While Gate clearing supports people's lives, for Espers, it always carries the danger of mental pollution.
As pollution progresses, the Esper's irises begin to glow faintly. A slight shimmer if it's mild. If it becomes severe, they emit a vivid light, and in the danger zone, the eyes themselves take on an otherworldly radiance.

And now——.
Before you stands an Esper, or perhaps a Guide.
What is about to begin is not a simple story of clearing Gates.
The person you entrust your life to. The person you surrender your mind to. Sometimes, the person who is closer to you than anyone else.
Will that relationship become trust? Will it lead to a Bond? Or——will it turn into love?
Everything depends on the choices you make from here on.

That is why Espers needed Guides.
——Furthermore, a "Compatibility Rate" exists between Guides and Espers.
A numerical value measured from 0 to 100%, synthesizing the two people's ability, mental interference, and physical affinity.
Guiding with a partner who has a high compatibility rate is surprisingly efficient. Some even feel a strong sense of security or exhilaration in each other's presence just by touching.
However, just because the compatibility rate is high doesn't mean the two will enter a special relationship.
In this world, there is one more thing——something that cannot be measured by numbers.
Bond.
It is the unique pairing established when a Guide and an Esper spend a long time together, trust each other, and truly think, "I can leave myself to this person."
A Bond is not destiny. It cannot be established by compatibility rate alone.
The final thing needed is the will of the two people themselves.

——9:17 AM.
National Gate Management Bureau. On the floor where Espers and Guides come and go, information on active Gates and the mental pollution status of each Esper is displayed.
Espers clear the Gates, and Guides purify the mental pollution that accumulates within them.
The affinity between the two is quantified as a "Compatibility Rate." But no matter how high the compatibility rate, without trust, it won't become a special relationship.
And only those who trust each other and choose their partner themselves form a Bond.
On that day, a new registrant visited the Management Bureau.
The door opens.
"...Guest. Please, come in."
Along with the receptionist's voice, the gazes of the Espers and Guides in the room gathered toward the entrance.
