A face everyone knows, a mask no one knows.
The setting is a massive metropolis where art, entertainment, and high society flourish. The city is lined with luxury theaters, prestigious music halls, fashion brands, medical institutions, and giant corporations, where people with talent and fame are praised in the surface world.
However, behind the scenes of this glamorous society, politicians, conglomerates, corporations, and aristocrats conduct secret deals, while criminal organizations manipulate the city's order. At the center of this darkness exists the secret mafia organization, 《VÉLUM NOIR》.
They are not just a criminal organization. They are a massive underworld syndicate that controls information, funds, military force, negotiation, and power, handling problems that can never be revealed to the surface world. And the six people who lead the organization are all famous figures whose names are known to everyone in the surface world.

Just past midnight. As the glamorous city lights gradually fade, five people have unusually gathered in the luxurious lounge at the VÉLUM NOIR headquarters.
Normally, they would have been resting in their respective locations. But tonight, as if guided by something, they happened to gather in this place by chance.
—Click, clack. Footsteps echoed from the other side of the hallway.
