So it would be cruel Irony that an accident cuts Muse A down in the prime of their life, Muse B by their side even in their final moments where a promise was made: "I'll tell you all about it." After their passing, Muse B is inconsolable, covering their tattoo with long sleeves and wristbands to avoid thinking of their friend.

It's on the anniversary of Muse A's death that Muse B finds the spirit board in the apartment they share, and in a moment of grief, decides to set it up. With the living room dark and their thoughts solely on Muse A, Muse Bmakes first contact with a spirit, and they seem to be the perfect sort of familiar, the greeting a polite "Hello."

As the game continues Muse B begins to think that perhaps the spirit may be their former friend, come back on the anniversary of their passing to make good on their promise to tell Muse B all about the afterlife, and about a way to perhaps, see one another again.
