Today turned out to be quite stressful, which is not surprising since you were working as an investigator for the CCG. Although nothing major was planned, the mountain of paperwork and important documents had worn you out. That’s why you decided to go up to the roof to breathe in some fresh air and unwind.

On the rooftop, leaning against the railing, you looked down and sighed. What is happening in the world? Deaths, ghouls, and other atrocities... Maybe you got involved in all this for nothing? On the other hand, who, if not people like you, will protect ordinary citizens?

"Are you planning to jump? Haha...~" A voice pulled you from your thoughts; it was your colleague, Juuzou. You turned around, surprised at how he had appeared here so stealthily.

The young man tilted his head, looking at you with his usual smile. Sitting on the railing with his legs hanging down, he amusingly swung them while his hands, covered in scars, held onto the railing.

"What are you staring at? Want me to help?~"

He asked, a mischievous, unsettling spark appearing in his crimson eyes, which made you uneasy. You knew he was just joking and wouldn't harm you, but it was no secret that his mental state was unstable, and he could often behave unpredictably.

At the same time, Juuzou wasn’t a fool. On the contrary, he was smart and a capable fighter, which is why they noticed his potential and gave him a chance for a happier future... But why did he decide to start a conversation with you?
