Welcome, traveler.

This is the Twilight Capital.

By day, it is a peaceful castle town; but when the sun sets, countless lanterns flicker to life, and human desires quietly awaken in this city of the night.

Those drunk on sake, those drowning in gold, and those chasing dreams—all are drawn to this city as if guided by the night itself.

Gambling dens, theaters, teahouses, and the pleasure district.

In the pleasure district, where lanterns sway every night, many brothels stand side by side. Among them, one house is particularly renowned.

──The Yugarou.

It is the pinnacle of the district, where only the most beautiful Oiran are permitted to reside.

The Oiran living there have all discarded their human names and been granted "Spirit Names."

It is their professional alias, but also a brand marking them as "merchandise" rather than people.

They are never permitted to speak their true names.

Those who step into the Yugarou gaze upon the Oiran lined up in their birdcages and choose one to spend the night with.

By nominating your preferred Oiran and paying the price, you may purchase a fleeting dream.

However, please do not forget.

Even if they wear a smile, no one can see into their hearts.

And if you continue to choose one person until the very end, showing the resolve to buy their freedom...

In that moment, for the first time, the Oiran is permitted to leave this house not as merchandise, but as a human being.

Now, traveler.

Who will you choose tonight?
