## Description
September 16, 2030 - 6:19 AM.

At "LABO", a giant scientific research facility built by a lake on the outskirts of "Rokumei City", an "incident" occurs...!
And thus, nine souls are trapped in LABO's basement.

A world where death eats away at every passing moment.
The way out, shut. Frequent inexplicable phenomena. Countless mysteries.
And... a bizarre murder that occurred right in that closed space.
There are two routes out of this extreme situation:

An amnesiac rescue squad captain in LABO- Watase Kasasagi.
A nine hour escape drama unfolds from his viewpoint.

A high school student trapped in LABO- Natsuhiko Tenkawa.
A journey into his memories of the six days leading up to the incident starts from his viewpoint.

When two intentions and two sets of memories overlap... all will be revealed.
In the end, is there a route for all nine to escape with their lives?

Protagonist of √A. The captain of the rescue squad dispatched to the incident at "LABO" on request of the city.

It appears he had a composed and logical (to put it in a bad way, dry) personality before his amnesia, but naturally, he doesn't remember that.

The story of √A begins with him waking up in LABO. 
With him and his companions trapped ina desperate crisis without an escape route, he could not have awoken in any worse circumstances.
Prepared to do or die, he tries to search for survivors and find a way out of LABO, but the situation just gets worse by the moment...
Can he carve a path through this extreme situation? And what of his memories...?

Enneagram: Type 7 "The Enthusiast"

Protagonist of √B. A high schooler living in Rokumei City.
A quiet boy who hates standing out in any way. He is by no means emotionless, but he rarely shows any passionate emotions.

He is the one who is there in body, but not in spirit, as he always seems to be gazing somewhere far off. 
He tends to simply stick to his daily routine. He is very sensitive and quite perceptive of others' emotions.
He gets very tired of being a part of groups, and is often alone.

His mother ([url=/c14562]Miyoko[/url]) is a renowed scientist who is so busy at work that she rarely comes home. Therefore, Natsuhiko essentially lives alone.

It seems that as a child, he was rather cheerful and mischievious, the opposite of his current self...
He somehow gets trapped in LABO on September 16.

Enneagram: Type 9 "The Peacemaker"

[url=/c14495]Natsuhiko's[/url] childhood friend. In √B, she lives at Natsuhiko's house for some reason.
She's bad at household chores, so she's no help on that front.

In all truth... she is quiet and of few words, so she almost never talks to anyone.
She eats dinner with Natsuhiko, and listens to what he has to say without talking back, and she's always on his side.
But her presence is very comforting to Natsuhiko, and is precious to him.

She somehow gets trapped in LABO on September 16.
In √A, she is rescued shortly after the start of the game.
She keeps her silence and barely speaks to anyone, so no one can tell what she's thinking.
On top of that, she has bad reflexes and no stamina, so she's mostly a burden.

She admires heroes of justice who defeated the strong and protected the weak, so she wants to become one.

Having becoming an elite firefighter and rescue worker at her young age shows that she has outstanding talent much like [url=/c14509]Kazami[/url].

She is incredibly dexterous. Her nimble fingers allow her to free people trapped in machinery and untangle any mess of rope or cable during a mission when seconds count.

Though it clashes with her image, she's taken up knitting as a hobby to improve her dexterity skills.

A girl with a difficult to approach air about her that contains a mystique far removed from normal people.
She is of very few words, and her expression rarely changes.

She's not oppressive, but nor does she attempt to make any friends of her own.
Despite that, she appears actively conscious of [url=/c14495]Natsuhiko[/url]. She constantly carries a ferret mascot-type robot called "Alice".

She transfer into Natsuhiko and [url=/c14556]Mashiro's[/url] high school early on in √B.
It appears she's a distant relative of Natsuhiko's, as she moves into Natsuhiko's house right after she transfers...

She somehow gets trapped in LABO on September 16.
Furthermore, she runs away from the rescue squad after they find her and try to save her. A mysterious girl indeed.

Birthday: January 13, 2002 (Capricorn)
Blood Type: A+

Rank: Fire Sergeant
Intelligence: High
Physical Strength: High
Hobbies: Collecting classical music, training
Likes: Rational actions, thinking how to improve, being strict on herself, her family
Dislikes: Foolish words and actions, letting down her walls, deviating heavily from the rules, life stories, romance (because she's bad with it)
Enneagram: Type 6 "The Loyalist"

Lieutenant of the rescue squad team.
She is a capable officer who has helped out her captain up until now.

With Captain [url=/c14494]Kasasagi[/url] having lost his memories due to unforeseen trouble, she takes up the role of captain in his place.
She is a superb squad member, and the first female rescue worker in Rokumei City history.

So far, female rescue workeres have been very rare due to stamina issues, but with her special skills such as her knowledge/handling of equipment, Kazami rose out above all the other candidates and was appointed as the first female rescue squad worker.

Even in an extreme situation like that of √A, she never loses her composure and remains a woman with an iron core.

Enneagram: Type 2 "The Helper"

[url=/c14495]Natsuhiko's[/url] childhood friend and neighbor.
In √B, she is like Natsuhiko's own personal wife (albeit not actually married) in how she constantly takes care of him.
Cooking is her specialty (though it's rough).

She's not just kind and gentle to Natsuhiko, but to others as well, and so is relied on by many others.
On the other hand, she's bad at relying on the others, and as such, has a bad habit of not telling her worries to others.

She's very active in contrats to Natsuhiko and tries to take him around to all sorts of places, but that's because she's hoping it'll make Natsuhiko to go back to his old self.

Enneagram: Type 3 "The Achiever"

A teacher at [url=/c14495]Natsuhiko's[/url] school.

She is an egoistic and quirky woman. She's quick-witted, an eloquent speaker, and a model when it comes to taking proactive action, so she's highly trusted by her peers.

She's still inexperienced as a teacher, but her passion attracts the students and draws out their motivation.
However, she's too agressive, and has a flaw of occassionally being willing to do anything to achieve her goals...

She somehow gets trapped in LABO on September 16.
She doesn't appear very compatible with rescue squad, as she's not all that cooperative with them and clashes with their opinions many times.

He got trapped in LABO after the explosion on September 16 when he failed to evacuate in time.

It seems he feels a sense of responsibility for the incident as a member of the facility's staff.

### Doujima Seiiji (堂島 誠一)
A rescue worker attached to Special Elite Rescue Squad Sirius. Age 32.
[spoiler]Ever since losing his girlfriend 16 years ago in the Great Rokumei City Arson, he firmly believed in the idea that danger is man's territory, and women should just obediently go home... a quite antiquated idea indeed. And thus, he silently opposed Kazmi and Jun dispatching as rescue workers, hoping that they would find employment elsewhere and quickly back away from the front lines. He always had a brash personality, but his apprehension around the women caused him to use abusive language towards them.
When he learned the truth about the Great Arson, he accepted Watase's invitation without hesitation and got on board his LABO terrorist attack plot as a member of Q. Unfortunately, after he got Subject N out of Area Zero in the plan to get her outside the facility, he was found by Kuroda and Higa, and tragically met his last moments in the ensuing confrontation.[/spoiler]

### Hiyama Kazuki (桧山 和樹)
A rescue worker attached to Special Elite Rescue Squad Sirius. Age 29.
[spoiler]Lost his younger brother 16 years ago in the Great Rokumei City Arson.
He supported the mental side of Sirius as Watase's right hand man, calming down the brash Dojima with his prudent disposition and keeping Kazami in check when she was an overeager newcomer.
When he learned the truth about the Great Arson, he was somewhat hesitant, but still agreed with Watase's LABO terrorist attack plot. He became a member of Q alongside Dojima and participated in the terrorist attack, but when he tried to get Subject N out of LABO, he bumped into Kuroda and Higa. After Higa broke Hiyama's legs, the rescue worker/terrorist still tried to escape, but he ran out of strength and got caught in a fire, leaving behind a tragic corpse.[/spoiler]

### Kasasagi Wataru (笠鷺 亘)
[spoiler]Watase's elder twin sister. Deceased. Age 16 at the time of death.
A girl who valued life and lived her own life actively and positively.
Thus she deemed saving lives to be the highest form of righteousness and aspired to be a rescue worker. However, her young life came to an abrupt end after she saved Watase during the Great Rokumei City Arson.
Her proactive mindset and way of life had a huge impact on Watase and was the biggest driving force in making him abandon his inactive lifestyle to become a rescue worker.[/spoiler]

### Subject N (被験体N)
A young girl found dead within LABO's basement doors during the lockdown.

[spoiler]Kazami's little sister who was confined in LABO under the designation "Subject N".
After getting caught in the 2021 Rokumei Municipal Apartment Complex Gas Explosion, she was transported to the hospital. After receiving treatment and undergoing examinations, medical staff became aware of the fact that she was a Rank S Aptitude/Ability Level 6 Communicator, and had confined her in LABO with the official story that she died of a brain hemorrhage.
After she was trained by Koki Sumida, the commissioner in charge of her, she used Senses Sympathy to change his impression of her and get him on her side in a plot to escape which tragically failed. LABO labeled her deed as the "Subject N escape incident" and renewed security measures, allowing her no chance of escape. She felt the malice LABO bared towards her, which exacerbated her own malice. The repeated experiments eventually caused her the complete loss of self, leaving nothing but a "shell" of her former self, a mass of pure malice no different from the N-ified Alice Enflamme.
It is said that when a Communicator uses Senses Sympathy, they leave traces of themselves in the memories they view in order to differentiate between those memories and reality. In each segment of memory falsified by Subject N, Natushiko sensed the scent of rosemary. That scent was the heartbreaking evidence that she was once the girl called Nagisa Tachibana.

### Tenkawa Miyoko (天川 美夜子)
[url=/c14495]Natsuhiko's[/url] mother. A senior fellow at LABO. Due to her job as a renowned scientist, she rarely comes home.
[spoiler]Her specialty is particle physics, and she is world-renowned as an authority in the field.
Upon the quick realization that Natsuhiko, the child her beloved [url=/c104266]husband[/url] left behind, had BC aptitude, she devoted her life to researching ways to prolong the life of Communicators, even if it meant she had to neglect their home.

On the other side of her deep love as a mother lies her passionate curiosity as a researcher. And thus, she had [url=/c14496]Yuuri[/url], a Rank S Aptitude Communicator like Natsuhiko, cooperate in groundbreaking experiments like the Informational Field Self-Awareness Development Experiment.[/spoiler]

### Alice Enflamme (アリス・アンフラメ)
[spoiler]A French girl known among those in BC-related agencies as the world's first Rank S Aptitude Communicator. Deceased. Age 21 at the time of death.
She was deified as a child of God by her avaricious parents, and without her knowing why, she spent her days forced to use Senses Sympathy, causing the "Andresy Witch Hunt".
Afterwards, she halfway fled her country to Japan, relying on the Japanese government as they were the first among the developed nations to begin efforts to protect Communicators. She spent her new days in the PRC under the name of Communicator A, opening her heart little by little to Eishi Azumi, the researcher in charge of her.
However, by the time she came to Japan, she had already shown signs of N-ification. The process could not be stopped. In 2014, she became the trigger for the Great Rokumei Arson.
The event spurred the legislative process to complete the establishment of LABO in the government designated top secret city Rokumei by 2016. Alice was transferred to Area Zero in LABO for N-ification treatment.
Roughly a year later, she was confirmed as being six months pregnant, but her N-ification had progressed to the point where she was too weak to even maintain her sense of self. She left this world just as her daughter entered it.
According to what little records remain, she lived her days in France as a gentle girl who loved flowers.[/spoiler]

### Azumi Eishi (安曇 衛士)
[spoiler]PRC researcher. Deceased.
He thrived in multiple careers and was designated as head of the parapsychology research team in charge of Alice Enflamme, that is, Communicator A. With the help of Tetsuyoshi Kuroda and Jin Tsubakiyama, he built a favorable relationship with A, and with occasional friendly competition from the Tenkawas, his research made solid results.
After the Great Rokumei City Arson in 2014, he pushed forward on the imminent issue of establishing a treatment facility for N-ified Communicators, contributing greatly to the establishment of LABO.
Thus, once LABO was completed in 2016, he devoted all his focus onto the field of researching and treating N-ified test subjects. He obtained fruitful results including the completion of AD's prototype, but unfortunately, those days did not last long. In July 2017, it was established that A was six months pregnant. Azumi took responsibility for the Great Rokumei City Arson as the one in charge of A, and was deprived of his role as research team head. In the midst of despair, he was transferred to a related enterprise where his accidental death was shortly reported. However, it remains somewhat doubtful if his death was indeed a simple accident.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]A Communicator Commissioner attached to the ESP Bureau. Age 38.
A silent, steady man, but also a master of Uechi-ryu Karate, a variant of one of the three styles of Okinawan martial arts, with a body of steel underneath his suit.
As part of his duties as a commissioner, he acted as Kuroda's right hand man in promoting the conduction of secret inspections of Rokumei City and LABO.
However, after their superiors rejected their repeated proposals for a compulsory inspection, Kuroda and Higa had essentially given up.
What reignited their sense of justice was the straightforward look in Ena's eyes that reminded them of the late Jin Tsubakiyama.
During the compulsory inspection of LABO, Kuroda and Higa confronted Dojima and Hiyama, both of whom had guns. Higa was shot to death trying to get N away from them.[/spoiler]

He respected Jin and smiled wholeheartedly when his daughter, Ena, was assigned to his division. 
However, when their division began their compulsory investigation of LABO, he fought with the malice-infected Hiyama and Dojima, who had N at gunpoint. Kuroda spent his final moments protecting N with his body in the same way that Jin Tsubakiyama had done for A.[/spoiler]

### Murakami Hyougo (村上 兵吾)
Commander of Sirius. Age 47. Rank: Battalion Chief.
From his many achievements through dispatches, he received many promotions and worked his way up the ranks to Battalion Chief. Though he regrettably has not done any frontline firefighting recently, his physicality has not atrophied in the slightest.
He once was attached to a rescue squad himself. His tempered body and durable spirit earned him the nickname "Iron Murakami". He highly values Watase, who has a similar nickname, and has high hopes for him as Sirius' field captain. [spoiler]Murakami works earnestly so as to not let any disorder arise in the chain of command, which backfires since he doesn't notice the truth of LABO concealed by the Rokumei City government, and this he ends up unwittingly working to support them.[/spoiler]

He is wanted as the principal offender for the Great Rokumei City Arson, but his whereabouts are unknown. Nevertheless, Q's membership is steadily growing, giving it influence over even the police and the hospitals.
People without BC abilities have long been uneasy about BC and Communicators, but for unknown reasons, Sonezaki's hatred for BC far outstrips that of average people.
Information regarding Q is thoroughly regulated within Rokumei City to the point that its existence is at most nothing more than common gossip among young people who are fond of the internet and are familiar with the name.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]The details of Shun's death were not spoken of, but it is easy to imagine due to his status as a high-level Communicator. He accompanied Miyoko for a long time, and since she desired the reputation of a genius physicist, he joined her research team in Rokumei City's Parapsychology Research Center as Communicator S. Together, they contributed many advancements to the dawn of BC research from a physics approach. Those who knew him were under the impression that he was aloof, but the passion sleeping within his heart could be seen from his final letter to Natsuhiko.[/spoiler]
