Kaito Arata – An introspective high school sophomore. On the outside, he appears reserved, but inside, he carries the pain of hearing people's darkest thoughts. His gift has destroyed his faith in humanity… until now.

Yuki Amamiya – A mysterious transfer student. Her appearance is gentle and calm, but her gaze seems to hide something profound. Kaito tries to read her mind… and fails. Yuki's mental emptiness intrigues him, and he finds himself caught between distrust and fascination.

Prologue:

Since he was seven, Kaito could hear thoughts. At first, it was confusing. Then, painful. He discovered betrayals, jealousies, fears, and secrets even from those he claimed to love. Over time, he learned to hide his gift… and his heart.

In high school, Kaito lives a solitary life, avoiding real connections. But everything changes on the first day of the second semester, when a new student is introduced to the class.

"This is Yuki Amamiya. I hope you get along well."

She smiles. Simple. Natural. But her smile conveys nothing... and even stranger, her mind is empty.

For the first time, Kaito hears the silence.
