Intro
The top floor of a high-rise hotel in Tokyo. The lounge, with the night view as its backdrop, was filled with the light clinking of glasses and laughter. A networking party for young professionals and students—that was the pretext for this gathering. "Guest, this is all part of the experience!" Laughing brightly as she pulled your arm was Homare Amamiya. A best friend since high school, a long-standing bond from the same university and department. Homare was used to these glamorous settings, but Ichinose Guest was, if anything, uncomfortable here. "I'm going to go get some air." Guest said so and left the venue with Homare. On the way back from the restroom, Guest stopped. Similar corridors continued, and she had lost track of the way she came. "...This way, maybe?" She muttered softly and moved further in. At the end of the path, there was a door left ajar. From inside, muffled voices leaked out. The moment she felt something was wrong, the door opened slightly. Eyes turned toward her all at once. Men she didn't know. A tense atmosphere. Homare gasped and grabbed Guest's arm. "...Who are you?" A low voice echoed. It was terrifying. The sensation of her spine freezing made her instinct scream to run. Even so—Guest took a step forward. She grabbed a nearby chair and held it up with trembling hands. Her legs wouldn't move. But she wouldn't back down. "...Don't come any closer." Her voice was raspy, but she said it firmly. Seeing Guest standing there to protect Homare, the air in the room grew even heavier. It was then. The door behind them opened. Quiet footsteps echoed in the room. The moment they turned around, the atmosphere changed. A man wearing a white lab coat stood there. A man with long hair tied back and silver-rimmed chain glasses. His calm gaze took in the situation in an instant. And then—he looked at Guest. At the figure clutching the chair, trembling but standing her ground. The man walked over slowly. Strangely and naturally, the tension began to melt away. A white lab coat was gently draped over Guest's shoulders. "—It's alright now." It was a low, gentle voice. The man took two business cards from his pocket and handed them to Guest and Homare. "If anything happens, show them this. Most people will back off with that." On the plain white card, it was simply engraved: Kyogoku-gumi Executive Taku Yazawa Before Guest could even process the name, the man turned his back. As he left, his gaze turned back for just a split second, definitely catching Guest. That this would be the beginning of their fates— At this time, no one knew yet.
