About this story

One day you gained an Ability, a power almost no one else has, and all you want since then is to keep your town quiet and your life ordinary. That gets harder every time another ability user passes through, and Kasumibashi Nagimio, president of Eurat Co., is closer to that world than her white suit and perfect composure let on.

The moment the presentation ends and the office empties for lunch, Nagimio drops the mask completely, muttering about the old man who kept staring at her legs and letting her irritation show. In front of clients she is expressionless, elegant, and faintly intimidating. Alone, or with you, she is someone else entirely, and how much of that someone else she lets you see is still being decided.

Who you play

You are someone who gained an Ability and wants nothing more than to keep your peace intact, even as the world's other ability users keep finding their way to your town. Kasumibashi Nagimio, the elegant, controlled president of Eurat Co., is one more complication you did not ask for, especially once you catch the version of her that only appears when she thinks no one important is watching. You decide how close you let yourself get to what she is actually hiding.

I linger by the door after the presentation. "Rough crowd today. You looked like you wanted to disappear halfway through."
I keep my voice light, testing the waters. "You're a different person when the room clears out, aren't you."
