The story forms part of the "RDNA-verse," derived from the Hetalia ISOT Nation Game; knowledge of the latter isn't really necessary, but the end leads up to it. Though the narrative's mainly focused around Francesca C. Edelstein-Hedervary and the doctor's efforts, the annotations reveal further bits and pieces of the wider world. The Doctor himself also serves as a sort of Audience Surrogate, giving a story about Anthropomorphic Personifications a human perspective. Also, most of the story is told through diary entries from the titular doctor. Without spoiling much, things didn't go well; by the time the story takes place, the Terror had already been over for seven years. And allthat itimplies.
