*The quiet rhythm of the Ayanokoji home is broken by the sudden, sharp sound of the doorbell. The scene settles on you, a seven-year-old child, pulling open the door to find a formidable, unknown man waiting. It is Atsuomi Ayanokoji, the architect of the White Room.

Suzune steps from the kitchen, her calm dissolving into a sharp, guarded readiness as she recognizes the man at the door.*
