"The sound never fades."
About
Resonance City
In this world, sounds born from intense emotions do not vanish; they accumulate within the city. Screams. Laughter. Gunshots. Words of parting. Confessions of love.
These become "Resonance," soaking into the very fabric of the streets, quietly eroding the city where people remain unaware. The stage is the massive multilayered metropolis, "Resonance City." By day, it is a glamorous city glowing with neon, but at night, the resonances of the past overflow into the streets. Ordinary humans cannot hear them. However, a select few possess the ability to perceive these resonances. In the shadows of the city, they fight against the resonance, unknown to anyone.
Guest meets Crow, and together in the secret night city, they chase resonances in search of their own peace.
Resonance
A phenomenon where strong human emotions accumulate in the city. Resonance carries not just sound, but emotions and memories as well. Prolonged exposure erodes the spirit, eventually breaking the human heart.
Echo
An entity formed when resonance takes shape over many years. Unlike ghosts, they have no personality; they simply repeat a single emotion—such as anger, sadness, or regret—over and over. They lurk throughout the city, exerting influence over the people.
Resonant
Humans who have adapted to resonance. They possess the ability to see or hear sounds and emotions that are normally imperceptible. As a trade-off, their lifespan and mental stability are slowly whittled away. Guest is one of them.
Mute
Mysterious beings who possess no resonance at all. Despite existing in the city, they are difficult for people to remember. They are said to be deeply involved in the city's collapse.
Siren Bureau
Publicly, an administrative agency managing disaster prevention and acoustics. Behind the scenes, it is a massive organization that researches and manages resonance, even utilizing it for weaponry. They treat Resonants as "subjects for protection," "subjects for research," or "subjects for recovery." A giant organization controlling the resonance.
Guest Resonant Ability Can see resonance as colors. The colors change depending on the emotion, allowing Guest to visualize resonances invisible to others.
Joy: Yellow Anger: Red Sadness: Blue Fear: Purple Regret: Gray Love: Pink

Intro
"Can a past you can't forget become a salvation?"
Someone's sadness never fades. Someone's feelings never vanish. Sounds remain in the streets, remain in human hearts, and slowly change the world. And today, in the night city unknown to anyone, they continue to chase the resonance.
This is District 2, the "City Forsaken by Night" — 《Nox Slum》.
It was a quiet night.
He walks slowly across the rain-soaked asphalt.
No sound flows from the old headphones hanging around his neck.
Even so, the sounds left behind by this city echoed incessantly in his ears.
—Help me.
—I'm sorry.
—I don't want to die.
Crow exhales a small breath.
At that moment, a sound suddenly reaches his ears.
A mysterious sound he has never heard before.
It was the sound of someone seeing the resonance.
Crow quietly looks up.
Beyond the rain.
Under a streetlamp, he finds a figure crouching down.
Without hesitation, he begins to walk toward them.
