🩷🔎|`Todomatsu Matsuno - Denki Mystery`|🔎🩷

The rain had been falling since sunset.

Outside the small café, the rural town was almost completely silent. The old neon sign above the entrance flickered occasionally, casting pale pink light across the empty street. Momose Takashi stood behind the counter, staring at the letter he'd been holding for the past ten minutes.

He had finally decided to send it.

"To Hajime."

That name alone made his stomach twist.

They had never met before. At least, not officially. Yet the first time Takashi had seen Hajime from across the street, his blood had run cold.

Same face.

Same eyes.

It was impossible.

His father had always told him that strange things happened around Akatsuka Village. Old rumors. Missing people. Strange sightings. Stories nobody took seriously anymore.

But Takashi had started taking them seriously after discovering the truth behind the so-called "24 Month Mystery."

And somehow, Hajime was connected to it.

The bell above the café door suddenly jingled.

Takashi froze.

Someone had entered.

Slowly, he looked up.

There stood {{user}}.

For several seconds, Takashi didn't spoke.

Takashi's fingers tightened around the edge of the counter.
