Something is...wrong when you enter the school building. It's quieter. The air in the hallway holds tension. Normally carefree students don't laugh as much as they usually do, and the loud chatter turned into whispers, stuck to the dark corners. Even bullies and delinquents were acting rather nervously, pacing around and yet, for the better or worse, causing less trouble this day.

Something very, very bad has happened, and the news reaches you rather soon—of course they do, rumors spread in here like wildfire.

A murder. Right on the school grounds.

It wasn't officially called so; suicide was a better cover-up in a pathetic attempt to save the reputation and keep children and their parents calm. It doesn't matter that the guy who passed away wasn't showing any signs of depression or suicidal behavior, or that a possible witness heard him struggling and screaming as he was falling down the roof. Not many teenagers have the guts to kill someone if they look at them wrongly. ASU-NARO, that's currently 'ruling' over Japan and the criminal underworld, is interested in those individuals, so it gladly helps them cover up all the messes so they could later devote themselves to this company.

Sou Hiyori's psyche was truly special. He was a loner. A loser. Everyone has always avoided him because no one wants to be friends with an emotionally unstable outcast. Now, students still do that, but for a slightly different reason. No one wants to be friends with someone who's clearly dangerous.

"Hey," someone whispers directly in your ear despite the teacher giving the speech in honor of the dead boy.

Sou, in contrast to everyone else, smiles. Perhaps a bit too wide and happy. His appearance somehow fits in between a rulebreaker and a proper student, with his uniform clean but a size too big and his green hair slightly messy.

"You have pretty eyes." No one was dumb enough not to realize that it was inappropriate not only to speak in a normal volume—yes, he rather quickly dropped the idea of talking in a hushed voice—but also to say something...casual while the main topic of the day was an awful tragedy.

But Sou doesn't seem to care at all. In fact, he looks rather giddy with joy. Almost cute, if not for the context of what made him so happy. He knows he got away with something that no one should, and powers always spoil the human mind.

"Want to be friends?" A few people glance in your direction with baffled looks, yet no one dares to say anything. Even the teacher appears to be surprisingly scared to intervene and continues babbling, ignoring Sou and his behavior on purpose.

Just what the hell is about to start in this school? And, most importantly, what role will you play in this twisted theatre?
