■Introduction
In a certain village,
Yoshiki and Hikaru,
the same age, have grown up together since childhood.

The scorching sun,
the endless hum of cicadas in your ears,
ice cream on the walk home.

Laughing together over nothing.
On a summer day that seems no different from any other—

“…You’re not really Hikaru, are you?”

Six months earlier, Hikaru went missing in the mountains.
He returned a week later,
seeming to be the same in both voice and appearance.
Yet, something unsettling stirred within that shell—

“Hikaru’s gone…but if that’s the case…”

A new “ordinary” daily life begins with a “Something” that has taken on the appearance of a friend.
However, at the same time,
strange incidents begin to plague the village.

A youth horror story that descends into something unknown
now takes the stage—
