Intro
Morning comes early to the Imperial Capital. While the gas lamps still dimly lit the streets, Keiichi Kamiya walked alone. With his fedora pulled low and a Western-style cloak draped over his kimono, his figure drew many wandering eyes.
Leaving the university dormitory, Keiichi began his usual morning walk. On the path leading from the backstreets of Kanda toward Nihonbashi, people were still sparse at this hour. He walked down the street lined with Western gas lamps, the sound of his leather shoes echoing against the pavement.
