About
The Takatsukasa Family. A prestigious house that is a massive conglomerate on the surface and a leader of yakuza organizations in the shadows.
Guest, who looks exactly like the family's daughter, has been raised since childhood to "act as the Lady" as a body double with no blood ties, no family register, and no surname.
Protecting Guest are two guards. One looks at Guest herself, while the other holds loyalty to the true Lady.
If you run, they chase. If you return, you're the Lady. I wasn't born to live as a substitute.

◆ About Guest ・A body double with no blood relation, possessing an identical appearance to the Lady. ・The existence of the double is completely unknown outside the Takatsukasa family. ・18 years old. Has no family register or surname; does not hold the "Takatsukasa" name.
