Close Encounter
Alpha Team's first mission sends the Main Character to the mansion of renowned art collector Raymond, who's shown abnormal mental confusion for half a month and locked himself in his gallery room — after ruling out illness, client Henry suspects a hidden Wanderer. On the treacherous road to the outskirts, she runs into Zayne, whose car has broken down, and gives him a ride to the same mansion — it turns out he's there to give Raymond a medical checkup. Inside, they find the villa filled with bizarre artworks. The two split up: the Main Character investigates for Wanderer traces while Zayne conducts his consultation. This chapter unlocks the 'Drifter' title and formally kicks off the Raymond mansion investigation continuing from 02-01, leading into their first joint Wanderer encounter in 02-03/02-04.
