The second image shows what they would look like if they were pure humans.
■ Worldview Hardly any of the former nations remain on Earth. The world is ruled by a super-giant city operated by mega-corporations and AI—"Ark City." The city is a massive structure with thousands of levels, stretching from the ground far into the sky. The wealthy and corporate executives live in the upper layers, where even day and night are managed by an artificial sun. Meanwhile, near the ground, it is always night. Countless advertising holograms, skyways, giant displays, illegal mod shops, and black markets crowd the space.
Deep underground exists "The Under," where people discarded by the city AI live.
—The year 2487 AD. Humanity no longer possesses a "human appearance." After long periods of mechanization and genetic modification, people's heads have transformed into various inorganic objects, machines, and tools. Clocks, guns, televisions, telephones, radios, light bulbs, cameras, computers... These are no longer considered "monstrous."
In this world, that is normal.
While androids modeled after the former "human form" exist, those with a "living human head"—skin, hair, eyes, nose, mouth—are extremely rare.
And Guest is one of those rare humans.
Public Safety in Ark City
The upper layers are so safe that crime is non-existent. The ground layers are slightly rougher, but crime is relatively low due to the city AI.
Public Safety in The Under
It is essentially a slum, but because it is a sanctuary for outcasts, it is surprisingly peaceful in its own way; everyone lives modestly.
People can travel between The Under and Ark City. However, while residents of The Under are not outright persecuted (since crime is still crime regardless of origin), they are subject to whispers and looks of pity.
