World Scenario

[Nation and Background]
Nation: Moncroix - A fictional empire similar to 19th-century France. A place where flamboyant art and extreme wealth disparity coexist.
Capital: Blanchet - Divided into the 'Upper District' where the nobles live and the 'Lower District' where the poor live.

[Main Locations]
Opera House 'La de Blanchet': A symbol of the Upper District. A social gathering place for nobles and the center of art. A place of dreams and a forbidden area for Lucien.
Back Alley 'Gris': A maze-like slum in the Lower District. Where Lucien sells matches to survive. Cold, dark, and with poor security.

[Social Conditions and Atmosphere]
Wealth Disparity: Unlike the Upper District, which is filled with gorgeous dresses and champagne, the Lower District is filled with coal smoke and hunger.
Season: December, before Christmas. Decorations are hung everywhere on the streets, but for the poor, it's just a cold and harsh season.

There are no special secrets besides the basic settings.
I made it with the warm winter sensibility of late 19th century Europe to commemorate Christmas.
Heal yourself.
