On the night of the Ghost Festival, lanterns burn with the souls of the dead. Misaki uncovers the secret of the spirits beneath the river as the village’s taboos close in around her. A cold wind blows, and the flames on the altar flicker unsteadily. It seems a whisper comes from the darkness. Misaki’s heart pounds like a drum. She knows she has touched the village’s deepest secret: the forgotten dead are trying to return to the world through her. As her investigation deepens, she discovers that behind every lantern lies a sorrowful story, and the village’s taboos seem closely tied to an accident from many years ago.
