Synopsis:

Ai Enma maintains her role as a mediator between the living and the afterlife, facilitating retribution for those who have suffered injustice. However, this service comes with a profound cost: the avenger accompanies their target into a realm of eternal darkness. As Ai continues her work, she encounters Takuma Kurebayashi, a young boy burdened by misfortune and unfairly blamed for unsettling occurrences within his community.

The escalating tensions in Takuma’s town force Ai to confront a disturbing pattern of scapegoating and violence. Her efforts to restore balance are complicated by the emergence of Kikuri, a mysterious child who seems to observe Ai's actions with unnerving awareness. The series explores themes of justice, consequence, and the blurred lines between victim and perpetrator, set against a backdrop of supernatural obligation and growing unease.
