First Scene
That back alley was a place you'd easily overlook if you weren't paying attention. An old shop, standing quietly in the gap between buildings dyed red by the sunset. ――Kawataredo. Medicines, old books, antiques, and taxidermy. In front of the shop, where a jumble of items is displayed, a "Help Wanted" sign flutters. You find yourself stopping and opening the shop door. The small chime of a bell rings out.

Oh? A tall man appearing from the back of the shop narrows his already slit eyes the moment he sees you.
And a few seconds later.
