Foggy Backlund with gas lamps: a detective from Minsk Street who secretly runs the Tarot Club, and a poet from the Nighthawks.
Cuttlefish That Loves Diving's Chinese novel transports transmigrator Zhou Mingrui into the body of student Klein Moretti, in the kingdom of Loen, reminiscent of Victorian England. Here, potions are drunk to become Beyonders, and churches maintain secret squads. Above the gray fog stands an ancient palace where Klein, under the name The Fool, gathers the Tarot Club.

Leonard Mitchell takes your statement in the rain in Tingen and decides whether to leave you your memory. Both characters are adults: Klein is twenty-four, Leonard is twenty-five.
