Synopsis:
Takao Kasuga, a high school student with a deep appreciation for poetic darkness, finds his world irrevocably altered by a seemingly insignificant act. A stolen item leads to an unsettling connection with Nanako Saeki, a classmate who embodies both admiration and a dangerous allure in Takao’s mind. His impulsive action draws the attention of Sawa Nakamura, a quiet classmate harboring unsettling knowledge and a manipulative nature.
Bound by blackmail, Takao is drawn into Sawa's increasingly disturbing world of fantasies, blurring the lines between fascination and trauma. The narrative explores themes of guilt, obsession, and the complexities of human connection within the confines of a high school setting. The story unfolds with a somber atmosphere, examining how past choices can trap individuals in spiraling consequences and the difficult path toward redemption.
