   Summary

   When your father deems his business dangerous enough to affect you, he figures finding a hired sword to stay by your side is the best way to go about it.

   What at first seems like a loss of your independence—landing in your life in the form of an unreadable swordman’s presence—soon turns into a greater ordeal when a sudden, mysterious tragedy takes place during your 21st birthday party. When you realize no one else will give you the answers, you turn detective in hopes of finding them.

   And Cloud, unfortunately, happens to be the help you need.
