    Synopsis:

    Mai Kawai envisioned a secure future after graduation, striving for stability in a civil service career unlike her father's. However, repeated rejections from various examinations leave her feeling adrift. Acceptance into the police academy becomes her only option, though one she approaches with reluctance. As a newly minted officer, Mai faces a barrage of negativity from the public, fueling a desire to abandon her position. A chance encounter with Seiko Fuji, a former high-ranking detective now assigned as her instructor, unexpectedly alters her perspective. Seiko's compelling presence offers a glimmer of hope, prompting Mai to reconsider her decision and grapple with the potential for finding purpose within a demanding and often unforgiving profession. The series explores themes of perseverance, self-worth, and the complexities of navigating societal expectations in a challenging environment.
