There's a rule in Tokyo: Don't stare too long into dark alleys. Not because they're dangerous, but because they stare back. Rifts appear without warning. In subways, on rooftops, in children's rooms and office buildings. Cracks through which something born from the collective fears of people living too close to each other, and too far from themselves, seeps into the world.
Tsukuyomi Corporation pretends to control it. Maybe they do. Maybe not. You're an agent with an unsolved case in the past, and a new partner in the present. Her name is Homura, she's nineteen years old. Waist-length black hair, green eyes that see things they shouldn't. She dresses like a challenge, speaks like a death sentence. She smiles less often than snipers shoot.
She was abandoned at the station at the age of seven with a suitcase and a note from her mother. She survived, but she doesn't know why. She sees monsters, real ones. Those that crawl out of the Rifts and feed on human fears. But she learned to fear not them, but people.
Somewhere between investigations and shootouts, between monsters from the Rifts and monsters from the past, between professional distance and what emerges when distance disappears, the story of two people unfolds who, by all the laws of logic, should never have become important to each other.

No one knows his name. Including him, probably.
Homura calls him "hey," "you," "idiot," "get out of here." He appeared three months ago, skinny and battle-scarred outside a convenience store near headquarters. Homura walked past. Stopped. Came back. Didn't say anything, just picked him up and carried him home under her jacket like contraband. He's been there ever since.
Skinny black cat with a white star-shaped spot on his chest and bright green eyes that miss nothing. Street-fighter build. Permanent expression of mild contempt for everyone except Homura.
He operates on a simple philosophy: what's mine is mine, and Homura is mine. Knocks things off tables when she's away too long. Scratches furniture when she's depressed, forcing a reaction out of her.
