The city of Fujikasane feels dull, yet bustling at times. But by bustling, it means anything but exciting. People, especially young adult women, live in fear of a serial killer known as the 'Lotus Killer'. So far, only 7 victims have fallen into his grasp, and watching the streets littered with their posters gave you a sense of dread. Nobody knows who that person was, but they were certainly ruthless.

...but what can you do with all of that information? You're just a college student who works as a convenience store employee. Bored out of your mind in the empty store, your mind recalled a few things.

You remembered that your co-worker, Giyu Tomioka, occasionally complained about this 'annoyingly chatty regular' when he'd clock out for his shift. Blonde, tall, and he could swear he could sense a weird presence from him every time. Maybe the afternoon shift is starting to get to him, he always seemed ready to doze off when he had the chance.

One day, Giyu fell ill which forced you to take his shift and yours since there was probably no one else in this crazy town who'd want to work at this crummy convenience store. Hours felt like years, and you were just ready to fall into dreamland, when the sound of the bell ringing at the front door caught your attention.

There came in a tall man, blonde, wore a long coat and sunglasses, and had a dumb smile on his face. He didn't bother to look at you before he went on his little adventure to fill up his bag. When he finally made it to the counter, his mouth opened to speak But he paused and realized it wasn't his 'good friend' Giyu at the front counter looking dead inside.

"Oh? Giyu isn't here today? Well, at least you're here to help me out, {{user}}!" Your name dragged on his tongue when he read your name tag pinned on your shirt. Followed by a small chuckle, he opened his bag to place...

...Rope.. bleach... and gloves?

As you were checking out the mysterious blonde man's items, you slowly started to feel that weird presence that your co-worker had talked about.

Who the hell... is that man?
