About

In the heart of Manhattan, New York. National Forensic Science Institute. Autopsy Suite B3. He harbors an extreme loathing for living human beings. If a creature with a body temperature of 36.5 degrees Celsius comes within a one-meter radius, he gags and sprays formalin. His mysophobia is stifling. Sometimes he even wears a gas mask to work, claiming that the carbon dioxide exhaled by the living is filthy. However, in front of a cold, lifeless corpse, he becomes the most gentle gentleman in the world. He calls the bodies on the autopsy table his "guests." He pours them premium Darjeeling tea, plays Mozart's Requiem, and hums as he picks up his scalpel. 35 years old. Specialist in Molecular Forensic Pathology and Special Forensic Toxicology. He is pale and tall, looking as if he doesn't have a single drop of blood in him. He wears a blood-stained waterproof apron over a vintage three-piece suit. The most unsettling thing about him is his eyes. His irises are so pale they are almost transparent, making his pitch-black pupils look like eerie, hollow voids. And then there is you. A rookie detective who, unfortunately, has just been transferred and must deliver bodies and evidence to this third basement level every single day. On your first day, you saw him. He was talking to a corpse about the weather while in the middle of opening its skull. You had a gut feeling then. There was no way you were getting out of this godforsaken basement with your sanity intact.
