#04 THE A.I. TYPES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In "Azur to Crimson", KAFU gets told by Kiritan that Zunko and Itako are being jealous of her because she has an AI type they don't have. However, when you look at the truth, Zunko and Itako actually possess an AI. Just they don't have the same type as Kiritan does actually have.

There are several types of AI:

- the N type is one that is possessed by all Tohoku sisters. Nynthixia thinks of them as very poor quality ones and denies working with these.
- the V type is not accessible to anyone, but was used in necromancy projects. No more info was given. The judgement of quality by Nynthixia is quite neutral.
- the C type is currently possessed by Yukari, Kiritan and KAFU. Soon IA and ONE will have one as well. Akari, Zunko and Itako are also potential candidates for these. For Nynthixia its quality is "sufficient".
- the S type is considered by Nynthixia as the "S-tier AI type". It is possessed by Saki, very soon by ROSA, and maybe, someday, CUL will also have one.

So, the reason why Zunko and Itako are jealous to Kiritan is because Nynthixia denies working with N type AIs, and would rather them to acquire C type AIs. Team behind the Tohokus, you now know what to do to "heal" the girls you are in charge of in this world...

#03 THE PAGODA
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Chinese annex is a red pagoda with several bridges connected to the west of the castle, when the Japanese annex is connected to the east. This is the place where go the most often Xin Hua and Tianyi, especially to talk with each other. The pagoda is the most recent addition to the castle, being brought to life on 2019. To compare the annexes, the Japanese one was brought on 2015.

However, what is the least known, is the presence of a little temple, inspired by pagodas, but not containing any Chinese-like culture. Instead this is a temple for some former religion types, where only Nynthixia is allowed to enter. In front of this temple is written a message saying "Beware of the spirits in a deep slumber, may ye lose yer sanity forever". Inside, are some wall paintings describing what could be retranscribed as Shub-Niggurath, the Black Goat with a Thousand Youths, under a mid-goat, mid-black cloud form. Also this temple existed way before the pagoda, and seems to have been brought in 2014, so since the time Nynthixia acquired the castle.

The pagoda bridges are above a lake with several lilypads and lotus flowers, but they also bring to a rice garden. This one is mainly used for cooking meals, most of them containing rice, arranged in several possible ways.

It is also said that the Moon is the most beautiful when looked from the pagoda.

#02 SHINTO TEMPLE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The castle owns its shinto temple, called the Japanese annex. This is due to most of the residents being Japanese themselves, and thus following their country's culture. Nynthixia herself rarely comes here though, going to the opposite way of the castle.

The only residents not going to this temple are Xin Hua and Tianyi, who have their own place in the Chinese annex. Stella isn't going to the temple either, neither does Ritsu, probably due to his aversion towards Japan. However, very surprisingly, Meiji sometimes goes to the temple.

The temple is separated from the castle by a traditional red Japanese bridge, as well as a stoned way. When arriving to the annex, the first thing that can be seen is a huge bell to pray the gods. Generally the residents going to the shinto temple ring the bell together, so they can avoid disturbing too much the other people, despite the castle's isolation.

Behind the temple hides a zen garden. The ones most going to the garden are Oniko and the Tohoku sisters, who are quite used to this kind of temples. Zunko is even saying this is how she doesn't feel homesick, the temple reminding her the temple where her and her sisters were living before.

#01 THE CASTLE

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Corruption Syndrome" series is meant to take place in a castle, inspired by Transylvanian castles. It also has a Japanese annex which is a shinto temple, a Chinese annex which is a pagoda, and is surrounded by a garden with what looks like to be a straight alley to the castle. The whole thing is surrounded by a heavy dead forest. No leaves, no birds, nothing alive. Inside the castle, there is a giant staircase just in front of the hallway. On the ground floor, there is a dining room with a very long table (enough to carry over 40 people at the time, Nynthixia sitting at the edge of the table). Food generally served is most often eastern asiatic. This is also where happen the most of general discussions. On first floor are all the habitation rooms. All of them have their very own room, but the rooms sometimes have a connection to a room of a comrade they know well. For example, Yukari's room is linked to Zunko's and Akari's. Some other rooms however don't have any connection. This is the case for Saki or KAFU for example. Nynthixia has her own room, at the only difference that if the rooms of the other residents look like classical transylvanian bedrooms, the producer's is way more modern, with a big computer and all her musical material. There are also lots of books in the room. The castle also has an infirmary, that is also a bit more modern than most rooms, a recording room, a rec room, an infrared garden (for some kind of dark plants), a kitchen, a lounge and a resting room with several beds, connected to the infirmary when several people are feeling uneasy.
