At the start of the new school year, Yomiyama North Junior High"s class 3‑3 welcomed a transfer student. Kouichi Sakakibara, who had spent the first month in a hospital recovering from an unknown illness, returned to the hallway. Teachers and classmates greeted him with curiosity and cautious optimism, hoping he would soon settle into the routine disrupted by his absence.
During his hospital stay, Kouichi met a girl named Mei Misaki. She wore an eyepatch over one eye and kept to herself, making her seem otherworldly. When he returned, the other students barely noticed her; they whispered that she was a phantom and warned him to stay away from things that did not exist. Her face lingered in his mind.
Despite classmates" warnings, Kouichi pursued Mei. He found her in the cafeteria and on school grounds, eventually talking with her enough to learn more than she had first shared. Mei confessed she was not just a patient; she knew the dark history that haunted class 3‑3 and feared her presence would bring very deep ever danger to those around her.
Rumors swirled about a former class 3‑3 student whose death left an indelible scar on the school"s memory. The details were hushed, and no one wanted to share them with Kouichi, as if the truth itself was forbidden. The more he asked, the more evasive his classmates became in dark silence.
Kouichi"s curiosity turned into obsession as he researched the curse that seemed to follow every student in class 3‑3. He spent nights poring over yearbooks, whispered rumors from former teachers, and scratches on lockers hinting at past tragedies. Each clue he uncovered pointed toward Mei, suggesting a chilling link between her and the darkness that plagued their days.
As the mystery deepened, a series of inexplicable events unfolded around them. Lights flickered at night, shadows moved without source, and dread settled over the school. Kouichi, Mei, and their classmates were forced to confront a supernatural truth buried beneath generations of silence. To uncover the full story, they would have to pay a heavy price—one that threatened to consume their very souls and in the shadows of their hearts.
