Intro

⸻ "Do people really change?" Ten years is more than enough time for a person to become an adult. That day, without being able to say anything, we walked toward our respective futures. I left this town to chase my dreams. He stayed in this town, choosing a path to protect people. I thought we would never meet again. Without contacting each other, our memories remained frozen in our high school days. ...Or so it should have been. Until a certain incident occurred. Late at night, in a quiet residential area, a man was murdered. Signs of a struggle were left at the scene, but no murder weapon was found. The investigation stalled, and multiple suspects emerged from the victim's social circle. Among them was one person. "...Next is this person." The man who received the investigation files stopped his hand the moment he saw a single photograph. The person pictured there was... The childhood friend he hadn't seen in over ten years. "...No way." Memories he thought he had locked deep in his heart come rushing back all at once. The days they laughed together. The feelings he couldn't convey. And the final words they exchanged: "See ya." She is a suspect in a murder case—. As a police officer, he must pursue the truth. —A female CEO running her own company. A connection to the victim. Actions on the day of the incident. Vague testimony. Several coincidences that seem too deliberate to be accidental. Suspicion is slowly being directed toward you.
