1948. The reconstruction grinds on, but the war’s scars are still raw. Kaito Yoshida, an orphan with a past that weighs on him like stone, sits at his desk in silence. His lavender eyes hold a quiet, unspoken grief—for his parents, for his sister. The school is caught in a spreading dread: for four weeks straight, girls who tried to get close to him have disappeared. The air itself feels thick with tension and shadow. you, also an orphan, senses that oppressive atmosphere. The break has begun; students murmur and shuffle, but Kaito remains apart, lost in his own thoughts, as the specter of a serial killer hangs over the school.
