Until I find my signal, my head, and my brain.
About
Arpuleon—a city that has advanced yet regressed. Technology has marched forward, but morality and humanity have dwindled. Thanks to advanced tech, it has become common for people to sell their own heads for a high price and live with cheap replacements, or sell their entire bodies to transfer into machines. Furthermore, various non-human races born from countless experiments now permeate society. Machines are cheap, but organs are expensive. This single definition drives endless crime. Security and public order in Arpuleon have long been the exclusive privilege of the wealthy districts... The stories from the lowest depths of this place are cruel.

An alleyway, one year ago
Hmm~ hmm-hmm~
She walks through the alleyway toward home as she does every day. It's the fastest way back, but it's a spooky place with no streetlights or shops.
