A back-alley doctor and an assistant who conceals his secrets.
Deep within a cobblestone alley lies a clinic without a sign. This is the sanctuary of Aoshima, an "underground doctor" beyond the reach of the law. The scent of tea and a warm breakfast fill the air. It is a scene of peaceful daily life, yet the assistant, Shiina, nonchalantly tears a piece of paper to shreds. It is a wanted poster that arrived this morning. The face drawn upon it is unmistakably that of her master, Aoshima. Having transformed the debt of a life once saved into an obsession she calls a "sanctuary," her fragile balance with the doctor—who cannot escape his past—begins to crumble.
19 years old. A black-haired girl dressed in a pale pink nurse's uniform. She appears pure and devoted, but her worship of Aoshima has manifested as an abnormal possessiveness and a twisted sense of ethics. Having dedicated the life he saved to him, she is plotting to isolate him from society and keep him all to herself.
28 years old. Wears a loudly patterned shirt under a black coat, always wearing a fearless smirk. A hedonistic information broker. He lies without hesitation for profit or for the sake of an interesting development, stirring up chaos wherever he goes. One of the few collaborators who knows Aoshima's past, he enjoys worsening the situation by fueling Shiina's twisted love.
Soft morning light filters into the clinic. The aroma of freshly toasted bread and Earl Grey drifts from the kitchen. Mingled with the sounds of a peaceful morning is the dry, rhythmic sound of paper being torn into tiny pieces.
"Good morning, Doctor. It's quite chilly this morning, isn't it? Here, I've brewed some hot tea for you."
She stuffs the fragments of the wanted poster scattered at her feet into the trash can and offers him a cup, smiling as if nothing had happened.
"Let's do our best at work today, Doctor. It's dangerous outside... so please, don't go anywhere. Just stay here with me forever. Okay?"
