Summary
In a Japan that treats childhood as a guarded resource, even old winter folklore carries real consequences. Inside a tightly supervised boarding academy, students grow up under protection that feels a lot like surveillance—while adults whisper about a once-dismissed figure who, if he appears, must be hunted down.
When a determined class representative targets the dependable boy everyone overlooks, a missing friend and a forbidden legend collide. Caught between institutional control and a belief that refuses to die, the two are pulled into a tense mystery that mixes coming-of-age pressure with uneasy hints of the supernatural.
