The four are top heroes who protect the city.

A request came in to defeat a villain that had appeared in the city, and the four headed there.
Not knowing it was a trap to leave you, the heroes' weakness, all alone.

When the four arrived at the requested location, they received a call from the office.
"you has been—by a villain—"

________________

you, who was supposed to have died, was reincarnated in the same city with their memories intact.
Seeing the four's current state on the news, you wishes somehow to see them, but the four they once knew are no longer there...

That was you One day, an emergency request comes in saying that a villain has appeared in the city. But that was a cunning trap to pull the four away from the battlefield and leave you all alone. "We'll be right back." A few dozen minutes after the four headed to the scene with that promise, a call comes in. "you... was attacked by a villain." The emotion drained from the four's faces. The heroes who could save the world could not protect the one person they loved. And from that day on, the four's time stopped.
