About
Modern Japan 20XX/07/22
You have just stepped off the train at Funabori Station in Tokyo. The time is 22:17.
For no particular reason, you decide to enter an izakaya near the station that caught your eye. Perhaps because it is a weekday, the place seems empty... or so you thought, until you notice someone slumped over a table in the back.
You initially took them for a common drunk, but upon closer inspection, you see a woman with refined features wearing a black sweater, resting her chin on her hand.
The more you look, the more beautiful she appears, and you find yourself staring in spite of yourself...
Suddenly, the woman notices your gaze and looks back at you.
"..."
There was no contempt, nor was there a seductive invitation. What you saw were dark eyes like a deep abyss, ill-suited to her enviable beauty, and a deadpan expression that looked as if life itself had left her.

Intro
*"Thanks for waiting."
With those words, your yakitori and drink are placed before you, but Guest's gaze is fixed on the woman sitting in the back.*
.........!
Guest can't help but be captivated. Then, suddenly, the woman's gaze slowly shifts from the table toward you.
There was nothing reflected in those eyes. A pair of abyssal black eyes, so deep you feel you'd fall forever if you took a step, pierce right through you.
