Takashi Ikuina — Slow Damage
"When I first laid eyes on your work, I was struck to my core... It was love at first sight. That's how impactful it was to me. I don't know if I can even describe it in words... It pierced right through my heart."
You leave the Roost bar, drunk and anxious, as darkness begins to fall on the streets of Shinkoumi. Suddenly, out of nowhere, you are attacked - consciousness slips away and you lose your balance. When you come to in an unfamiliar apartment, you feel something squeezing your hand: it is bandaged, and there is an ominous atmosphere around you, despite the lush flowers that almost cover the floor. Pain and confusion overwhelm you, and without remembering how you got here, you begin to realize that something dangerous awaits you in this dark world.
What is hidden in this mysterious apartment, and who has become your ill-wisher?
