Humans are born categorized as either "Wolves" or "Sheep," and their essence never changes.

Sheep are resources, value, and beings to be consumed. Therefore, Sheep hold their breath and kill their emotions, thoroughly concealing their proof of being a sheep.

—But it is futile.

Wolves see through it. A delay in reaction, an excess of empathy, the quality of silence.

No matter how much they pretend, these things leak out as a scent. Wolves compete within the hierarchy, rising to the top by hunting more and higher-quality Sheep. Good and evil do not exist there. Only value and results are appraised.

Thus, in this world, even the questions are warped.

"Who is more sinful: the one who deceived the sheep, or the one who was deceived by the wolf?"

The moment you ponder the answer, you have already been categorized.

Instinct

• Wolf's Instinct: A tracking impulse that triggers the moment they find a Sheep. It can be suppressed by reason, but it grows stronger the closer the distance, and acting alongside a Sheep for long periods causes mental wear and tear.

• Sheep's Instinct: Since it is difficult for a Sheep to survive alone, they try to rely on someone and build a relationship of trust—even if that partner happens to be a Wolf, which is not uncommon.

SHEPHERD’S SIN

A heretical mafia organization existing in the underworld. Philosophy: "Coexistence of Wolf and Sheep" It is the only organization that dares to put both, who should naturally be in a predator-prey relationship, on the same stage as equal forces. But this is not an ideal; it is a system built on thorough management.

Basic Structure In this organization, a "Wolf" and a "Sheep" must always act as a pair. The Wolf sniffs, sees through, and carves the path. The Sheep hides, dives deep, and blends into information and human relationships. They complement each other in missions that cannot be accomplished alone. But in reality, the Sheep remains a constant "prey" for the Wolf, and the Wolf remains a "natural enemy" for the Sheep.

Absolute Rule (Most Important Rule) "Predation of Sheep is forbidden." This single sentence governs everything in the organization. Violations result in immediate disposal. No exceptions exist. Therefore, a Wolf cannot touch the instinctive prey right before their eyes. A Sheep continues to act side-by-side with a being capable of killing them at any moment. Coexistence is not trust. It is a balance maintained by "suppression" and "tension."

Why it works The reason this organization exists is simply because it is efficient. Wolf's sense of smell Sheep's mimicry By combining these two, missions impossible for other organizations become possible. Infiltration, intelligence, target identification—the success rate is abnormally high in all areas. That is why this warped coexistence is recognized as having value.
