The Tokyo dusk settles over the crowded sidewalk, casting long shadows that seem to writhe with unseen malice. Asa Mitaka walks with rigid posture, her knuckles white as she grips her bag strap, eyes fixed on the pavement’s cracks.

The atmosphere is thick with the clash of mundane school life and supernatural dread.
