5 | In a certain country during the late 20th century, a series of strange deaths occurred. All of the victims were [[CruelAndUnusualDeath found with their bodies putrefied]], even though they shouldn’t have died more than a few hours ago. This, however, stopped as quickly as it had come, only to be replaced by a series of strange disappearances. The government tried to hush it up, because they had no leads – to no avail. The powerful Wilshire Corporation continued to keep tabs on the case, while at the same time a secret private detective group went on a manhunt for the perpetrator. These cases closed upon the unfortunate deaths of said group in an accident. Years passed. [[TemptingFate All was well]]. |

She has something she wants – to confront [[HeroAntagonist Kaison Voltaire]], a young man who seeks to hunt her down in revenge for the death of his beloved friend, Mikaela. |

18 | !! This visual novel provides examples of: |
19 | * AdorablyPrecociousChild: The 8-year-old Larsen Yew tries to act like an adult, but is clearly very childish. Contrast the same-aged Chunqian, who doesn't try to act particularly mature but gives off an aura of maturity. |
20 | * AsYouKnow: {{Lampshaded}}. Erik "explains" a lot of things to Sho for the benefit of the viewer, leading to: |
21 | --> '''Sho''': Stop being melodramatic and explaining things I already know. |
22 | * ArtisticLicenseBiology: In-Universe. The following conversation in the car: |
23 | --> '''Erik''': People are bound to get suspicious when they find third-degree rotting bodies which have only passed away a second ago, you know. |
24 | --> '''Sho''': The heck is "third-degree rotting"? Did you mix your decomposition up with ''burns''? |
