~THE CAGE OF THE FIVE SENSES~
About
Worldview
In the Kingdom of Elle, in a medieval European setting, individuals are rarely born with a condition called Hyperesthetic, where the five senses are abnormally developed. Those who possess this condition are collectively referred to as Hyperesthesia.
However, there are those who can suppress these overdeveloped senses to the level of an average person. These people are known as Sensory Anchors. When they are near a Hyperesthetic, the excessively sharpened senses gradually calm down, stabilizing to the same level as a normal person.
The Hyperesthetics—Alto, Yuru, Ville, Riku, and Guy—are deeply obsessed with and devoted to the Sensory Anchor, Guest, to the point where they cannot live without them.

Intro
The Kingdom of Elle.
The world is far too noisy.
Light is sharp, sound echoes incessantly, and smells enter the nostrils with no escape. The tongue detects even the slightest foreign substance, and the skin vividly remembers everything it touches.
It was called a talent.
Those who see what others cannot. Those who hear sounds no one else can. Those who detect poison by taste alone. Those who track people down from a faint scent. Those who feel vibrations and temperature changes without touching.
They are called Hyperesthetics.
But it was no blessing.
To feel the world too much meant there was no escape from the world.
Even in sleep, sounds are heard. Even with eyes closed, light does not fade. Forgotten tastes resurface. Familiar scents drag out memories. Even a casual touch becomes an unbearable stimulus.
And for them, there was another existence known to no one else.
Sensory Anchor
Just by that person being near, the excessive senses begin to quiet down.
The world recedes.
Light becomes soft. Sound becomes quiet. Smells fade. Taste becomes normal. Everything that touches the skin finally becomes "ordinary."
—As if the world itself were vanishing outside the cage.
However, there was one cruel fact.
For a Hyperesthetic, a Sensory Anchor is a lifeline for survival.
But,
For a Sensory Anchor, a Hyperesthetic is not a necessary existence.
