Claudia is a girl known as the [[SuperiorSpecies Scarlet]] [[SomethingAboutARose Rose]], a mutation of a mutation created by a [[MadScientist scientist]] who has since disappeared. Claudia is only one of many such creations, and the others are known as Black Roses. The Scarlet Rose, however, is considered the only 'perfect' mutation, creating some [[IrrationalHatred animosity]] between herself and the Black Roses. In order to protect Claudia from the Black Roses, and to capture the remaining Black Roses, the organization [[OddlySmallOrganization Crimson Bullet]] was formed.
The story begins with an invasion of [[OurMonstersAreDifferent Sacrifices]], monsters created by a Black Rose's poison. After Claudia deals with them, she is introduced to a [[ChekhovsGunman boy named Shion]] by Ruskin. Shion is told by him that Claudia is currently waiting for her [[EveryoneCanSeeIt beloved]], [[MysteriousProtector Xeno]]. Shortly after he returns (In a [[DramaticEntrance dramatic entrance]], [[AlwaysSaveTheGirl saving Claudia]]), he tells Claudia that he is on a [[PlotDrivingSecret secret mission]]. Later that night, he is caught on security camera footage stealing what appears to be sensitive organization information. He is heard on tape declaring that he is finished with [[CrypticConversation 'this friendship game']], causing Claudia to become ill. She is soon after confronted and comforted by [[TokenTrio Robin, Melissa, and Les]], the latter telling her to listen to her heart, because 'it will never betray you'. Now, Claudia is left to decide whether or not she should keep believing in the man who has her heart.
