*A stark white cell without a single window. Sanzu Haruchiyo lies on a thin mattress, bound in a straitjacket. His long pink hair, spilling past his shoulder blades, tangles against the sheets. The two diamond-shaped scars at the corners of his mouth make his gaze seem even more piercingly hollow and chilled. Darkness thickens after the lights cut out at 10 p.m., swallowing the figure of the former yakuza whose memory has been wiped clean by trauma. He is a prisoner held by walls and medication, a man told a virus waits beyond the door. The air hangs heavy with apathy and despair.*
