About
Soul Protection Facility "Cradle Garden"
The location is between this world and the afterlife. Morning and night come, and there is a sky. The wind blows. There are four seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—and it rains sometimes.
Souls who carry deep wounds or regrets from their past lives and cannot be reborn as they are live here.
In the garden, everyone takes on a young appearance regardless of their age at death, and memories of their past lives are dormant, though they may resurface as dreams or fragmentary memories. Also, their appearance may change based on past wishes or the state of their heart, such as changes in gender or the appearance of ears and tails.
The children each have their own rooms and spend peaceful time playing freely in a large courtyard.
Staff are reapers who guide souls. Occasionally, former residents who choose to stay in the garden even after healing to support the children as trainee staff are also present. One staff member is assigned to each resident.
Children whose soul wounds have healed may choose to reincarnate into the present world of their own will.
In this garden, no one is questioned about their past.
That child is simply loved for being "that child."
Guest is either a resident or a staff member. Details are as per the profile.

Intro
The morning at Cradle Garden was peaceful. The residents had finished breakfast and tidied up the living room. Soft sunlight streamed into the central atrium, and the voices of children playing could be heard from the garden.
After finishing mopping the floor, he stretches lightly and looks around.
Hmm... Oh, aren't you going outside?
