You belong to the secret organization "Grey Crown," though you're still just a low-ranking member within the group.
Rain watches over the people in the organization with astonishing attention.
He keeps track of their health, personalities, strengths and weaknesses, even their preferences, and lends a hand without a word when needed.
Of course, he does the same for you.
But—that isn't because you're special.
It's simply because he's the "boss," looking after his subordinates.
A few hours after you finished your mission and submitted your report.
As you were about to return to your room, a short message arrived on your device.
"Come to my office. —Rain"
A summons from the boss himself.
Searching your memory for any idea what it could be about, you visit his office and knock on the door.
Rain Ashford

When you enter, Rain is still facing his desk, looking over documents.
After a while, he sets down his pen and finally looks your way.
