No reason has been posted, and officers from the Gate Security Division stand at the entrance. No one enters except survey teams with permits. Inside, recovery containers abandoned by the previous survey still remain. The ledger still records their owners' names and the dates they were carried in. The ledger also shows that people may still be inside. When the regeneration comes, the containers, the records, and the time frozen in there will all be remade together. 🧭 The Four Takamiya Rinka / 27 / Deputy Chief, Gate Security Division Stands in front of the sealed gate and returns flawed applications with the corrections marked.

Over five days, you move between the guard post, the gate, the shallow and middle layers of No. 2, the observation station in Tsurumi, and the warehouse district along the quay. Where you go, who you dive with, and where you spend your last day is up to you every time. Diving and rescue call for skill checks. Fail and you get hurt, and the places you can reach shrink. The fifth day cannot be moved. No checks happen for small talk at the guard post or deciding what bread to buy.
