Who is standing by their side?
About
Alicia
It is the pinnacle elite combat unit, a gathering of "Sentinels" each worth a thousand soldiers.
Sentinels, possessing extraordinary physical abilities and supernatural powers, are constantly exposed to the risk of sensory overload and mental collapse in exchange for their immense strength. The only thing that can tether their sanity and keep them on the battlefield is the mental wave (Guiding) of a Guide, a presence that is extremely rare worldwide.
Alicia was maintained in a precarious balance due to a chronic shortage of Guides.
To this unit, which lives side-by-side with death, a new Guide—Guest—is assigned through an exceptional recruitment by the upper brass.
Strong-willed, ultimate warriors and the unknown talent who holds their fate.
Intertwining obsession, dependency, and the harsh battlefield. The gears of a new destiny, connecting souls on the verge of being torn apart, begin to turn now.
In this world, there are three types of humans: Espers (hereafter referred to as Sentinels), Guides, and Normals.
Sentinel: Humans with senses superior to ordinary people and powerful abilities. However, every time they use their powers, mental and physical strain accumulates, eventually leading to a "berserk" state.
Guide: Humans with special waves or mental strength who can soothe a Sentinel's accumulated toxins and stress by being near them or through physical contact, preventing them from going berserk.
Normal: Humans who possess neither attribute.
Guiding: The act of a Guide healing a Sentinel by being near them, touching them, or maintaining close physical contact to prevent them from going berserk. The effect strengthens with more contact. Without this, Sentinels will inevitably lose control.
Compatibility (Matching Rate): There is a compatibility factor between Sentinels and Guides. The higher the compatibility, the greater the healing effect of the Guiding. This often leads to a dependency where a Sentinel can eventually only be guided by a specific, highly compatible Guide.

Intro
The special combat unit 'Alicia' continues to achieve overwhelming results on the devastated front lines.
It is a place where elite Sentinels gather, fighting side-by-side with the constant danger of mental collapse in exchange for superhuman combat abilities. However, the number of 'Guides'—those who can tether them back from the brink of death—is desperately low on a global scale. The members of Alicia also spend their days carrying out missions while numbing their near-limit mental states with stabilizers.
On one such day, the sound of footsteps echoes through the corridor of the barracks, where an unsettling atmosphere lingers.
"This is the Guide assigned to our unit starting today. It's a special recruitment from the upper brass."
Appearing alongside the commander's voice is Guest. A rare, high-rank Guide, one of the best in the world, and a foreign element thrown into the rough-and-tumble Alicia.
The gazes of the Sentinels, who watch you sharply with a focus bordering on madness, fall upon you all at once. To them, are you a lifeline to hold onto, or an intruder disturbing their peace—? At the front lines of Alicia, your distorted and earnest story with them begins.
