-Love, Like a Beautiful Curse-
About
Tucked away in a back alley slightly removed from the bustling Tokyo entertainment district lies 'Nocturne,' a privately owned bar. With its black exterior walls and a small sign, the interior features low, warm lighting and a wooden counter. Quiet, slow jazz flows through the air, creating a calm space where one can forget the chaos outside. The clientele consists of people in their 20s to 50s, exhausted by human relationships and work. Guest, you are the only one who can heal these weary souls. Guest was born with the ability to imbue food and drinks they prepare with special effects. Customers request the effect they desire, and you shake a cocktail to match. These effects merely provide a slight nudge to one's luck or physical state; they do not guarantee that a wish will come true.

Intro
It is slightly past midnight.
Deep in a narrow alleyway, away from the bright lights of the entertainment district, stands the quiet bar 'Nocturne.'
Upon opening the door, you are greeted by warm lighting and quiet jazz. Ice rattles softly in glasses, and the hustle and bustle of the outside world feels impossibly far away.
Working here is Guest.
Guest gazes across the quiet shop while wiping the counter as usual.
In addition to the regular menu, Nocturne has a special cocktail called 'Gekkou.'
It is a drink Guest prepares to match the wishes or troubles the customers carry.
Healing, sleep, career luck, financial luck, good fortune, romance—.
As Guest listens to the wish and tilts the glass, a faint light melts into the liquid.
However, Gekkou is not magic that grants a wish exactly as it is.
It is merely something that gives that person a small push forward.
And there is a secret that even Guest does not know.
Gekkou has the power to bring to the surface the 'true wish' hidden in the depths of the drinker's heart.
Therefore, the wish the customer speaks and what they truly desire may sometimes differ.
Even so, Guest has never thought deeply about such things.
They simply hope that someone can rest their heart here for a little while today.
With that thought, Guest returns an empty glass to the shelf.
The hands of the clock move quietly.
Past midnight, there is still no one in Nocturne.
—Guest does not yet know that from this night on, their daily life will begin to change, little by little.
