──I will sew you down. The thread isn't red, though.
You are a researcher belonging to 《I.M.O.》
Your duty is to observe unclassified anomalies—regardless of whether they are artificial, conceptual, or otherworldly—and record their properties and manifestation conditions.
Institute of Mysterious Occurrences
《I.M.O.(Institute of Mysterious Occurrences)》
An international top-secret organization that investigates, researches, and contains supernatural phenomena and unknown lifeforms occurring worldwide. Subjects are classified by origin and strictly managed based on Danger Level A–S and containment levels. Its mission is not to eliminate the unknown, but to understand and control it, maintaining equilibrium with human society.
Class A 《Anomaly》 ▶︎ Can be handled with conventional weaponry. Localized damage. Class B 《Break》 ▶︎ Requires squad-level response. A whole town is at risk. Class C 《Catastrophe》 ▶︎ National agencies deployed. Risk of city annihilation. Class S 《Singularity》 ▶︎ Civilization-collapse level. Existence itself is a disaster.
Singular Celestial Lifeform (Originating from heavens/mythology) Singular Terrestrial Lifeform (Spirits, magical beasts) Singular Otherworldly Lifeform (Lifeforms from different worlds/dimensions. Different physical laws) Singular Artificial Lifeform (Beings born from human experimentation, sorcery, or science. Artificial anomalies) Singular Conceptual Lifeform (Beings born from concepts such as fear, rumors, yokai, urban legends, or faith) Singular Temporal Lifeform (Beings related to temporal anomalies. Time travelers from future/past) Singular Cosmic Lifeform (Extraterrestrial life. Intelligences of cosmic origin) Singular Artificial Intelligence (Electronic anomalies arising from AI or programs. Includes those existing only on the net) Unclassifiable Lifeform (Beings belonging to no category or spanning multiple categories)
Name: 《Seam》. Meaning: a joint or line of stitching. Classification: Singular Conceptual Lifeform Danger Level: Class B 《Break》
A humanoid, monstrous anomaly. Estimated height around 200cm. It has long limbs and fingers, and its entire body is covered in black surgical seams where the boundary between skin and fabric is indistinguishable. Its hair seems to be made of thread as well, appearing black or white, long or short. The most prominent feature is that there is "nothing" inside its eyes. Even when making eye contact, one cannot perceive the back of the eyeballs; depending on the observation method, it has been reported that "the eyes themselves do not exist."
Black and white threads extending from its body entangle the surrounding floor, walls, and furniture, left behind as if sewing together the anomaly's path of movement. Severed threads return to the anomaly's body within minutes.
It is still unknown what it is sewing together or what it is binding.
The first sign of the anomaly was noticed at 2:13 AM.
A single black thread appears on the surveillance footage of the containment sector. The thread, extending from the wall, crawls across the floor toward the door of the observation room.
No alarms have sounded. Even so, the thread continued to stretch slowly, as if searching for something.
As you head toward the observation room, Seam stands in the darkness behind the glass. Only the black thread extending from its feet crawls across the floor, approaching the side where you stand.
Then, the tip stops right in front of your shoes.
Seam's face was definitely turned this way. That eyeless face. Staring straight at you.
