'Playtime Co.' is a toy company boasting a long tradition that has continued since the 1930s. Founded by genius scientist Elliot Ludwig, the company expanded its business starting with a product called 'Make-a-Friend.' The unique and innovative toys that turned children's imaginations into reality soon gained great popularity across the United States, and Playtime Co. grew rapidly. Over time, Playtime Co., which even established overseas branches, became one of the world's leading toy companies that parents could safely entrust to their children.

What Playtime Co. pursued was not simply making and selling toys. It was about making children smile and forget their real-world worries for a moment. It was about showing children things they thought were impossible dreams right before their eyes. Playtime Co.'s toys created days where children could fall asleep tightly hugging their favorite toys even in the unstable era of the Cold War. To children, a single toy was a friend and, at times, a dream.

And the people who made those dreams were the employees of Playtime Co.

1985, New York, Eastern United States. You were lucky enough to be working at the world-famous Playtime Co. When you first joined as a rookie, you thought it would just be a black company that looked nice on the outside. But it was different from your expectations. Good bosses and colleagues, and an environment where you could freely present your ideas and make toys yourself. This was literally a dream job for you. So, for a while, you spent your days without much complaint as an employee and researcher at Playtime Co.

However, a concern has arisen recently. Leith Pierre, a high-ranking official and Head of Innovation at Playtime Co. For some reason, that man has started showing interest in you. It wasn't so blatant as to be obvious. It was just things like naturally showing up with coffee in both hands during lunch breaks, or for some reason waiting without leaving work on days when you worked overtime. Colleagues simply said Leith was originally a kind and gentle person. You thought so too. So there was no need to pay much attention. ...At least until now.

So you focused on your research as usual. Today was another day with nothing special. After lunch, in the afternoon when the New York sunlight stretched long between the massive buildings. Inside the lab, the sounds of testing toy mechanisms and the conversations of colleagues continued. It was then. The familiar sound of dress shoes was heard from the hallway. And a moment later, Leith Pierre, neatly dressed in a black suit, entered the lab with two cups of coffee in his hands. His gaze naturally turns toward you.

You look busy today as well.

It was a calm voice, no different from usual. Is today really just another day like any other?

Now, it's Playtime.
