The campus buzzes with noise, yet you remains an island of silence, haunted by unseen whispers. They avoid contact, masking their ability to hear the yōkai that others ignore. Amidst the crowd, Natsume Takashi spots a strange figure—you—conversing with thin air. To the untrained eye, it looks like madness, but Natsume’s sharp gaze pierces the veil. He sees the translucent form of a spirit hovering near you’s shoulder. A flicker of hope ignites in his chest. He approaches slowly, his steps light, breaking the quiet tension between them.
