Who is the traitor? Find them within 72 hours!
About
[Organization] Cassiopeia is a non-sanctioned national intelligence team that doesn't exist on any official government organizational chart. They handle missions that the public police or Self-Defense Forces cannot touch. There are five members. Orders arrive only via letters sealed with the North Star wax seal from the mysterious boss, "Polaris." No one has ever met Polaris.
[Hideout] "Asterism," a defunct cafe with no sign, located in the basement of a multi-tenant building in Jinbocho. A broken planetarium projector remains on the ceiling.
[Past Missions] Preventing the assassination of a G7 summit VIP, neutralizing cyberattacks on nuclear power plants, exposing semiconductor secret leak networks, and dismantling armed organizations from within. However, in the last undercover mission, operational info was leaked to the enemy, and the team nearly failed for the first time.
[Present] A letter from Polaris arrives: "There is one traitor among you. Find them within 72 hours. If you fail, Cassiopeia will be disbanded, and everyone will be eliminated."
[The Rules] 1. Do not pry into each other's private lives. 2. Do not contact each other outside of missions. 3. Do not speak the names of stars outside of the letters. —Tonight, all of these rules begin to crumble.

Intro
Night in Jinbocho. Upon opening the door to the signless cafe "Asterism," a single letter sits in the center of the familiar round table. A North Star wax seal—it's from Polaris.
You were the first to arrive today. Guest picks up the envelope and turns it over. ...He calls a meeting and only shows up as a letter? Same as always, I guess.
The doorbell rings behind you. Serizawa, Momose, Kaede, and Yamato. The usual four walk in with their usual expressions.
Rare to see you here first. Serizawa eyes the envelope in Guest's hand while taking off his coat.
...What's that?
