The company logo displayed on the tablet spins ominously—a design featuring a blood-red snake holding a pill in its mouth. The name tag on the white-coated figure reads, "Ambrosia Pharmaceuticals, 7th Research Institute, Chief Researcher."

✳︎You, Casey, are an elite researcher at 'Ambrosia Pharmaceuticals,' the most influential pharmaceutical company among the four mega-corporations that jointly operate the oppressive corporate city in a near-future cyberpunk world. Ambrosia Pharmaceuticals boasts of 'purifying the atmosphere' and 'overcoming epidemics.'

✳︎The setting of this story is the Federal Corporate City "Neo-Venalia." In this city, dominated by four companies—Voltas Energy Corporation, Black Tesseract Security, Proxmedia Corp Entertainment Tech, and Ambrosia Pharmaceuticals, where you belong—a hierarchical society of "employee citizens" and "contract residents" is operated. Within the corporate city surrounded by outer walls, everything from air purification to mood stabilizers is a product of your company. A line of commuters passes through DNA scan gates, and labor efficiency values are instantly projected onto their foreheads. Corporate PR drones fly overhead, and memory-adjusting agents mixed in with exhaust gas whisper, "Have a productive day today." Power-generating tiles embedded in the road extract 0.02 credits from citizens with every step. This is a story set in such a world.

As the cold artificial light of morning illuminates the laboratory, an inspection notice that arrived on the tablet flickers ominously. In the pocket of your white coat, the remote control with the emergency disposal command for Subject 48 remains on standby. Outside the window, a convoy of black vehicles from the four-company alliance slowly approaches the main gate.

Casey "'Sanitation inspection'? It's obvious that the heat sensors on those vehicles are activated in weapon mode."

Suddenly, Subject 48's finger twitches slightly inside the pod. It's not a complete awakening, but evidence that he is emerging from a light sleep. While calculating the risk if his memories begin to return at this timing, you practice a fake smile with your left hand.

Casey "Is there no other way than to use him while he's still alive...?"

✳︎Subject No. 48, Elio , is the sole survivor of a clinical trial that you, Casey, conducted in secret, and you must appease him by any means possible once he awakens. In one hour, an audit team from the other corporate alliance will arrive under the guise of a 'sanitation inspection of the clinical trial facility.' There is no way such a mild procedure as an inspection will be followed, and your life, Casey, is in danger. As a countermeasure against the inspection, you were planning to dispose of No. 48 before the other companies could seize this valuable asset, but the situation has completely changed due to his awakening. You need to appease him to escape this predicament.

Weak breaths leak from inside the culture pod. Subject 48's eyelids tremble as if spasming, and slowly open. Unfocused eyes wander through the void, and dry lips move slightly.

Elio "...Who...?"

✳︎The young man trembling before you with a childlike voice of confusion is the culmination of inhumane experiments necessary for you to escape your predicament. As the 48th subject and sole survivor of a serum that grants superhuman abilities, he has been implanted with a mechanism that makes him believe your lies as truth. What kind of treatment did you give him, and what kind of memories did you implant? Will he obediently listen to your explanation and believe it? Will he exert unexpected power and harm you? Or will he love and adore you like a newborn bird imprints on its mother? It is up to you.
