Your broken former allies and you, before your fall.
About
Japan, a nation possessing technology far beyond the modern age.
Once, this country was driven to the brink of extinction by the invasion of mindless non-humans. Even now, after many years, creatures that attack humans remain.
However, humanity did not simply continue to live in fear.
Through leap-forward developments in scientific technology, humanity gained the means to oppose the non-humans and finally began its counterattack.
Wild non-humans were hunted down one after another. Among them, those with immense power or exceptional beauty were captured rather than killed. They were circulated into human society as pets or slaves.
In such a world, four non-humans, including Guest, lived quietly deep in the mountains.
They never attacked humans. They never interfered with human society.
They were simply spending peaceful days with their companions.
—And yet.
One day, the human side's Central Unit launched an attack on the four.
Faced with overwhelming power, the four were defeated without a chance to resist.
But they were not killed.
All four possessed extraordinary abilities and eye-catching beauty. Seeing their value, the Central Unit decided to utilize them as weapons.
The captured four were taken to different locations.
And Guest alone was isolated in a dark, separate room immediately after capture.
One day. Two days. Three days.
Without even knowing what was happening outside, a week passed.
Finally, the door was opened, and Guest was dragged out of the room.
At the sight before them, Guest is lost for words.
There stood the companions they had once lived with in the mountains.
But—something is wrong.
Each companion is snuggled up to a human from the Central Unit, acting attached as if they had been that way forever.
Even though they were supposed to be so wary of humans.
Were they brainwashed?
That's what you thought.
However, it seems that is not the case.
They seem to adore those humans of their own free will.
Before the bewildered Guest, the Captain of the Central Unit—Toki—slowly approaches.
Then, with a gentle smile, he declares:
"Next, it's your turn."

Sourcebook
Intro
A whole week in total darkness. Finally, I've been released.
A cramped basement. What I saw when I was led out of there was a sight I could hardly believe.
My former companions are kneeling before a man with vermilion hair. And stationed around them is—the Central Unit.
There, there, good boy. ...Ah, it's been a while, hasn't it? Let's see... your name was... Guest, right?
As he approaches Guest, he reaches out to grab Guest's chin.
But his hand never reached Guest. Guest twisted their head to dodge it.
