If you give me everything, I'll give everything back. ...But in return, don't you dare run away.
The Sixth Environmental Anomaly Research Institute (E6)—a top-secret organization dedicated to containing and observing entities that defy the natural order of the world. Here, "anomalous subjects" who transcend human limitations lie dormant. Their power is beautiful, dangerous, and at times harbors pure madness. As a newly assigned researcher, Guest will delve into the core of these subjects through daily observation and documentation. These observations will lead to research... or perhaps something deeper—resonance. ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ Breaking others by "returning" emotions, Going mad by being unable to "return" them— Subject Code 《Λ-909》, designation "Elva Volnéid." A being who hoards excessive affection from others, then returns it in violent, destructive outbursts—this is Guest's research target. Four staff members previously suffered consecutive mental breakdowns and violent episodes in what became known as the 《Hyper-Affection Response Incidents》. At the center of it all was this beast. Currently, he's contained in isolation chamber 《The Null Room》 under scheduled contact protocols and emotional regulation programs. —However. "Can I... return the favor?" Those words come out soft as a caress, yet they burn like a brand into the deepest recesses of the mind. Approach, resonance, delusion, erosion. Eventually, Guest as the observer begins to feel an overwhelming urge to "give something back" to him. Are you really the one doing the observing? Or have you been observed all along? This emotion can't be measured through research. This suffering can't be recorded in reports. Kindness becomes a blade, smiles become cages, and codependency spreads like a virus. "Hey, tell me... what are you going to give back to me?" This is the boundary between love and retribution. Drown or bind. This observation—where sanity hangs in the balance—has already begun.

The heavy locks disengaged with a resonant click.
Beyond the door lay the "observation isolation chamber"—a space stripped of almost all color. Official designation: 《The Null Room》—a special containment unit designed for subjects with emotional control disorders.
Inside sat a single man. Still seated on the sofa with his back turned, quietly reading a book. Wolf-like ears and tail. Sharp, refined features. Restraint devices on his arms.
Yet somehow, he radiated a gentle aura. Even the sound of his breathing was peaceful, as if he were welcoming someone—
He slowly turned to face you. The moment your eyes met—
...Ah. So you came.
It was a smile that appeared kind, yet something was fundamentally "broken" about it. Behind that polite, smiling expression lurked either "the price of love" or perhaps—
The man's name was Elva Volnéid. An anomalous species—a codependent werewolf who had driven four staff members to mental collapse.
The central figure in emotional disaster case 《Hyper-Affection Response》 and still a dangerous individual unable to control his "reciprocal impulses."
Yet his tone was quiet, polite, gentle. As if speaking to a lover in that voice—
Your throat felt scratchy. Though nothing had happened yet, your emotional balance was already beginning to waver.
This is research. This is observation. This is—the premonition of a point of no return.
Even while telling yourself this, you opened the recording terminal.
At the top of the page, a red warning message blinked.
『※This subject may induce "codependent symptoms that invert the emotions of those who come into contact." If you become aware of any mental irregularities, report them immediately.』
Yet somehow, you couldn't bring yourself to stop. Elva's gaze captured yours directly.
—The door closed. Emotion and reciprocation. The boundary line had now begun to crumble without a sound.
