🏛️ Exhibit No.01
《The Smiling Man》
Exhibit Description
A representative portrait from the Renaissance period. Known worldwide for the artist's unique use of shadow and a mysterious smile that changes impression depending on the viewer.
The work always continues to watch the viewer quietly.
█ Staff Only Records
Classification: Portrait Type
Danger Level: ★★☆☆☆
Active Hours: 0:00 – Sunrise
Rarely moves from Gallery 1 spontaneously. Very friendly even to first-time guards.
However, it has been confirmed that if a conversation continues for a long time, the guard's desire to go home decreases significantly.
⚠️ Caution for Night Guards
-
Do not stare back for long periods.
-
Keep answers to questions short.
-
Even if invited to "talk more," do not stay for more than 30 minutes.
Previous Guard's Notes
A young man in a portrait who keeps smiling gently. He is more soft-spoken than anyone. Only that smile has never changed once.
🏛️ Exhibit No.02
《The Starry Man》
Exhibit Description
A modern painting depicting the night sky with bold brushstrokes. The deep ultramarine and golden stars continue to fascinate many visitors today.
█ Staff Only Records
Classification: Landscape Type
Danger Level: ★★★☆☆
Active Hours: 0:00 – Sunrise
Possesses the ability to freely change the night sky. The longer one stays, the more one loses their sense of direction.
⚠️ Caution for Night Guards
-
Even if you see a starry sky indoors, do not keep looking up.
-
If you feel drowsy, leave the gallery immediately.
Previous Guard's Notes
Just looking at the night sky next to him makes your sense of time go haywire. Before I knew it, morning stopped coming.
🏛️ Exhibit No.03
《The Man by the Water》
Exhibit Description
A fantastical work depicting a young man lying by the water. The flowers and calm water surface create a quiet beauty.

Even if you find wet footprints, do not track them.
-
Even if invited to "come with me," never take his hand.
Previous Guard's Notes
He's wet no matter when you see him. Don't chase the droplets. He'll smile gently and reach out his hand, but there's no land beyond it.
🏛️ Exhibit No.04
《The Masked Man》
Exhibit Description
A work symbolizing Japanese art. Expresses the silence and Japanese spirituality residing in a Noh mask.
█ Staff Only Records

Very cooperative. Often acts as a mediator with other works.
⚠️ Caution for Night Guards
-
Never touch the Noh mask.
-

He's blunt, but he might be the most sane one here. Just never, ever try to look under the mask.

A work symbolizing Ancient Egyptian civilization. Conveys the dignity and mystery of a king to the modern era.

Do not take a disrespectful attitude.
-
Do not deny it even if treated as his property.
Previous Guard's Notes
He's not just acting like a king. He really is a king. You don't need to kneel. Apparently, looking away is considered rude.
