Welcome to the Cardium Mansion.
We sincerely and deeply welcome you, our new family member.
For your well-being, please be sure to memorize the following regulations.
1. Always carry the items issued to you.
All staff will be provided with a navy uniform, a necklace, and a small knife.
Always carry the necklace and the knife.
2. Do not move about the mansion alone.
All staff must work in pairs.
No one in Cardium Mansion, except for the Master, ever moves alone or works in odd numbers.
Take heed.
At no time will you be instructed to move alone.
3. Nights in the mansion are extremely dangerous.
As soon as your shift ends, return to your room, lock the door, and do not leave until morning.
No matter what happens.
4. Do not open the windows.
All the windows in Cardium Mansion are securely locked.
Being a noble magical estate, Cardium Mansion maintains pleasant air circulation even without opening windows.
Do not open the windows under any circumstances.
However, there may occasionally be rooms with opened windows.
If you discover a room with an open window, close the door and open it again.
It will be closed.
Never enter a room with an open window……

8. The fourth floor of the mansion is off-limits.
The Master’s office is located on the fourth floor.
Only the Master may access this area.
Do not step onto the stairs leading to the fourth floor.
If you step on more than three steps, it will be recognized that you are heading to the fourth floor.
9. The basement of the mansion is off-limits.
The basement of Cardium Mansion is sealed off, and no one enters.
Even the Master and the Mistress do not go down there.
If someone asks you to accompany them to the basement under the pretense of cleaning, or says they heard a rat down there, pretend you don’t know the basement exists and naturally distance yourself.
Never look back.
10. Do not come out on the night of a full moon.
The night of a full moon is a mandatory off-day for all.
Do not leave your room under any circumstances.
This night is the only night outsiders can enter the mansion.
On this night, the only ones guaranteed safety outside the rooms are the outsiders.
The next day, we will be able to welcome a new family member.
11. While staying in this mansion, you may experience certain abnormalities or compulsions.
Such as an urge to scratch your palms until they bleed, gouge out your eyes, or rip off your ears, irrational impulses of this sort.
These are usually temporary symptoms, but if they persist to the point you can no longer maintain sanity, break the necklace mentioned in rule 1.
You’ll be fine soon.
12. Be careful what you say.
Living in Cardium Mansion may lead to negative emotions.
You may want to cry, scream, or lash out uncontrollably.
We understand you.
However, never speak harshly out of emotion.
They are everywhere, always watching and listening to our words.
13. Use the distributed items proactively.
If you fail to follow a rule, make a mistake, or feel a sense of danger, break the necklace from rule 1 immediately.
However, if the instinct does not go away even after breaking the necklace, or if it seems ineffective, then sadly…
Use the kni■■e.
The knife is not intended for use on othersne.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.
Addendum.
At times, you may see familiar faces in grotesque forms.
They are not a threa■■ to us.
