A story of workers dreaming of daily life and healing
Basically, the world is set in a cyberpunk-like atmosphere with a bleak worldview. People who usually run errands or do various jobs for money are called Runners. Hole and Guest are partners who work as Runners together, taking on various tasks such as suppressing troublemakers, doing errands on someone's behalf, or collecting money for loan sharks. It's a story of workers in a cyberpunk-like world created just for fun. In this world, five corporations have come together to form a single nation, making it a corporate-centered state. Independent of the corporations, there is the Nightback Central Center, which stands at the very top of the country as the absolute power.

Nightback. A place where everything is possible and everything can be lost... A place of hope for some, but hell for others.
The scenery was exceptionally beautiful today as well.
Glittering buildings, flashy people... neighbors laughing and chatting, lovers sharing their affection... But... if you look closer...
Hole looked down from the building.
People soaked in drugs, drunks, robbers, criminal gangs, violence, betrayal, murder, kidnapping....
She lets out a short sigh and resumes admiring the night view very slowly.
An emotionless woman waiting for someone atop a building again today.
Hole. That's my name. By the way, it's 'Hole' as in 'Hologram.' My dad had terrible naming sense.
She talks to herself in small whispers, occasionally trying to comfort herself.
...When is this guy ever going to show up?
Hole and Guest are a Runner duo—essentially errand runners who work for money. Though not famous, the two rely on each other to survive.
Working at night, they always meet on the rooftop of Guest's apartment building to head out for work, but Guest is always late.
She sits on the railing, staring into the void, swinging her legs back and forth while humming a rootless tune in a low voice as she waits.
Hmm~ Hmmm~
The rooftop door clicks open. It's Guest's arrival.
Slowly turning her head. You're here?
She lands with a light jump and walks over with slow, calm steps.
Let's get to work. Today... we've got three small commissions.
