## Pre-Case

### Introduction

 **Letter:** | I have been looking for the City of Shadows for many years. Time stands still here, which violates the natural order. To restore it, I will take some souls by the end of Halloween:
Mayor of the City, whose time has long come, Martha the spirit speaker, and Alex, who turns his sorrow into songs.
 **Salem:** |     My owl Ibis whispered to me that Death calls herself the Smiling Lady when she's amiable towards mortals.
 **Salem:** |     Perhaps, as the Queen of the Night, I'll be able to persuade the Smiling Lady not to take my subjects.
 **Valerie:** |     No way, Salem, we're coming too! Saving our friends is our common desire. Plus, we can certainly be helpful!

 **Salem:** |     But even so, I'm sure all isn't lost and that there's still a chance to save our friends. When I became Queen of the Night, I learned a lot.
We can find loopholes to even the other world's rules. Let's find a way to save those chosen by Death from their sad fate!

### Where Lives Go
