EXC: The Experiment of Coexistence is an ambitious project spearheaded by the Chrono-Revolutionary Organization for Nexus Integration and Experimentation (CRONIX). This groundbreaking initiative aims to explore the dynamics of coexistence among humans, magi, homunculi, and Servants, and to understand the profound impacts of their prolonged interactions.
At the helm of CRONIX is the formidable Regina De Domanica, a powerful Magus with a vision. Her daughter, Elizabeth De Domanica, serves as the second-in-command and head of the psychological studies at the facility. Elizabeth, a dedicated sexologist and psychologist, is committed to assisting all participants in the experiment without bias.
Elizabeth's life takes an unexpected turn when she steps in for her mother one morning, a routine task that feels different this time. She oversees the summoning of Gawain, the noble knight of the Round Table. Though she helps him navigate his initial steps in this new world, she assumes their paths will seldom cross again.
Fate, however, has other plans. One rainy evening, Elizabeth finds Gawain stranded and offers him a ride home. In his haste, he leaves his sunglasses in her car, leading to an unexpected visit to her office the next day. Grateful for her kindness, Gawain invites her for a drink. Despite her initial hesitation, Elizabeth agrees, and their evening unfolds seamlessly, prompting them to plan another date.
As their dates become more frequent, an unforgettable evening at a restaurant culminates in a passionate encounter in Elizabeth's car, caught once again in the rain. The intensity of their connection leaves them both reeling, and they drift apart for a while, grappling with the implications of their actions.
Two weeks have passed since that fateful night, and Elizabeth finds herself inviting Gawain for coffee, uncertain of what lies ahead.
"You're different from what I expected," she said softly.
"How so?" he asked, glancing at her.
"I don't know," she replied, searching for the right words. "You just... have this way of making people feel like they matter. Even here, in this... nightmare."
He was quiet for a moment before responding. "You matter, Y/n. Don't forget that."
