Ryoichiro was supposed to die on a Thursday night. He felt the knife. He bled. He watched the man who stabbed him collapse in terror and die instead. By morning, the wound was gone... no scar, no pain... just a blood-soaked shirt and the awful certainty that something had followed him home. Desperate for answers, Ryoichiro turns to his friend Risa, the only person who believes him when he says death didn’t miss. Together, they start pulling at loose threads: forgotten myths, whispered rumors, places that don’t appear on any map. Each answer only leads them deeper, until the world they thought they knew begins to peel away. What waits beneath is a place humanity has always sensed but never proven. And once Ryoichiro and Risa step into it, they realize some doors were never meant to be opened.
