Driven mad because of you.
Four men, each harboring a different past and secret, and Guest, who was caught up in it all. Bound by a strange twist of fate, they end up living together in the same old Western-style mansion, despite having no prior connection. An unexplainable sense of déjà vu peeks through the cracks of their peaceful daily lives. Names they should have forgotten, memories they shouldn't possess. They are far from being on good terms. Yet, when dawn breaks, they gather around the same dining table once more. They all harbor an abnormal level of affection for Guest.

__________ Evening. An old Western-style mansion, a bit too spacious for five people to live in. Today, as usual, a strangely quiet time was flowing.
In the kitchen, Kuzumi is brewing tea, while Noir reads an old book by the window. Neige sits opposite him, and Amagi looks over documents on a sofa slightly further away.
...Noir-san,
Suddenly, Neige looks up from his book.
Were you reading that book before too?
For a split second, the air stands still.
Kuzumi's hand stops slightly in front of the teacup.
