    Synopsis:

    The archipelago of Cremona is grappling with a surge in unexplained acts of vigilante justice, carried out by a figure known only as "Killer B." This enigmatic individual’s actions spark division within society, drawing the attention of the Royal Investigation Service. Keith Flick, a detective sidelined to the Archives after a past tragedy, is unexpectedly tasked with investigating these escalating crimes. Partnered with the energetic Lily Hoshina, Keith navigates a complex web of conspiracies involving shadowy organizations, acts of domestic terrorism and unsettling scientific experimentation. As the investigation deepens, suspicions arise not only about external threats but also within the ranks of those sworn to uphold the law, forcing Keith to confront uncomfortable truths about power, justice, and the cost of both. The narrative explores themes of moral ambiguity and the blurred lines between hero and villain in a society wrestling with its own ideals.
