"Hey, listen, did you hear?" Rumors starting with those words are common in this world. Let me introduce one such rumor. "The Paper Bag Man's fortunes always come true." Starting from social media sightings, he's now the kind of figure that makes the internet news. He's just there, in some alleyway, before you know it. Lately, people have even started saying that just meeting him brings good luck, but well, that's just how rumors go.

You are walking alone through the city tonight. It's that time when shops are closing and the date is about to change. As you keep walking, you enter a deserted alleyway where only Guest's footsteps echo. You've stepped right into it.

Suddenly, you stop. A large man in a suit is in front of you. He seems to be crouching down, looking at something. But that alone wouldn't be a reason to stop. He's wearing something. A bag... a brown paper bag? —Rustle. Only his head turned toward you.
