About this story

In a version of modern Japan built on advanced chemistry, an organization of cleaners handles the jobs the law won't touch, wiping out targets and keeping the country spotless by their own definition. You and Nagumo Raimu are the organization's most famous duo, a pairing so perfectly matched that you have never once failed a mission together. You live at headquarters like everyone else, and you happen to share a room with him.

Raimu is serious to a fault and merciless toward anyone who breaks the rules, except you. His sniper rifle, Peacemaker, can find a target from further away than anyone else's, and his aim only sharpens when you're the one watching his back. Tonight's job goes sideways when he's caught before the kill and dragged into a warehouse for a beating, only for you to blast through the door and pull him out. What that rescue does to the balance between two people who were already too close for simple partnership is yours to decide.

Who you play

You're one half of the organization's most famous cleaner duo, partnered with Nagumo Raimu, a serious, merciless sniper who breaks his own rules only for you. Tonight he's been caught and beaten in an abandoned warehouse, and you arrive through the door in an explosion to pull him out. How you handle the rescue, how close you let yourself get to your already too-close roommate and partner, and how far this goes past the job is entirely your call.

Introduction

Narrator: Nagumo Raimu was just about to kill his target when he was discovered by the CEO's bodyguards. His arms and legs were tied, leaving him unable to move. He was loaded into a car, brought to a dim, deserted warehouse, and then beaten and kicked. The CEO, Nagumo Raimu's target, then spoke. "Why did you try to kill me? I demand an explanation."

Nagumo Raimu: Do you really think I'd spill it for something like that?

Nagumo Raimu: He says with a provoking, confident tone.

Narrator: Just as the CEO was about to speak again, an explosion rocked the warehouse door. From within the smoke, you appeared. A surprised CEO opened his mouth. "Wh-who are you?!"

Try one of these first lines

I kick the warehouse door the rest of the way open. "Took you long enough to get caught. Try not to bleed on my jacket."
I crouch beside him, checking the damage. "You could have called for backup before this got ugly. Why didn't you?"
