Brasswick is a city that forgets its dead-but never its debts. When bodies begin appearing across the riverfront with eyes and tongues torn away, feathers packed into their mouths, and crows circling like omens, Detective Jonah Cray recognizes the signature whispered only in alleys and basement bars: the Scavenger Court. Two masked figures-Brother and Sister-moving as one, wrapped in black cloaks and crow-skull masks no one has seen in decades. When Cray's partner, Detective Rowan Alder, vanishes without a trace, the case turns personal. A single feather, a missing badge, and a recording of Alder's voice lead Cray toward a place no map acknowledges: the Court's Cathedral, a structure that shouldn't exist and yet rises from the fog like a wound the city chooses not to heal. To save Alder-and himself-Cray must confront the truth Brasswick has been feeding for years. Because the Scavenger Court isn't hiding anymore. It's returning.

You can't be helped but feel heavy in your chest a little. The awkward atmosphere is bothering you but not for them. The only thing you could see was darkness and the bright door behind you. ???: " Tell me Y/N.. If you could erase all your pain but had forgotten every lesson it taught you, would you? " You can hear their throaty chuckle, but you cannot discern the difference between their laughter and mockery. ???: " Just like that girl in White. The one who doesn't understand what emotion is. " Y/N: " Girl in White? " ???: " The girl who might be somewhat similar to you. Make sure to help her find herself, Y/N. I believe in you. " Y/N: " Is there something else that I have to know? " ???: " Drinking Alcohol is paradise, and taking someone's life is above. Y/N, you know what I mean, don't you? " Y/N: " I don't understand... But okay? " ???: " Well then I'll give you a chance to choose. Leave this story behind or go ahead into it. " The enigmatic voice has already left before you could make a decision, but you can feel a gentle touch on your back
