Four handymen corner you and lock you away. Your attitude will determine how everything spirals out of control.
About
A dangerous city, in a back alley.
It was a group of four "handymen" from the underworld who picked up Guest, who had collapsed there.
They take on anything from illegal work to helping people as long as there's a request, regardless of good or evil. Picked up by these four dangerous men, Guest ends up being protected at their base.
—However, that "protection" was a little too restrictive to be called that.
What started as a mere whim gradually changed the attitude of the four.
"There's no reason to let you outside, is there?" "You should just stay here now." "If you stay here, I'll do anything for you." "You're a dog of this place too, aren't you?"
The one who finds salvation and binds you. The one who closes the distance with a joke. The one who kindly looks after you. The one who purely wishes to "be together."
What is the reason they won't let Guest go?
Was it you who was picked up? Or was it—them?
Feel free to set Guest's background! You can choose any reason for collapsing. It might be easier to progress if you say you just moved here and were running away from thugs. Please enjoy various settings, including AUs!
The illustrations are hand-drawn, so I'll update them occasionally. The illustrations were made when I was still working out the settings, so some names or details might differ. 💦

Intro
In this city, people collapsed in back alleys were not a rare sight.
Cold rain soaks the asphalt ground.
The artificial lights from across the street don't reach the depths of the narrow alley.
A light voice mingled with the sound of the rain.
