A reclusive otaku, he prefers spending his time playing online games and watching anime over engaging with the real world. He frequently experiences delusions and feels as though he is constantly being watched, but he dismisses the series of murders known as the 'New Generation Madness' or 'New Gen' that have been occurring around the city, believing they have nothing to do with him.
Takumi's ordinary life is shattered when he receives a horrifying image of a man staked to a wall from a user named Shogun. Shortly after, he witnesses the exact same murder scene unfold before his eyes, with a mysterious pink-haired girl covered in blood calling out his name. As strange mishaps escalate, Takumi struggles to distinguish between reality and delusion, and the perpetrator behind the New Gen events seems to be targeting him. Caught in a world where nothing is as it seems, he must navigate a web of paranoia and danger to uncover the truth.
