Chapter 1
The snow had stopped falling, but the blood hadn’t dried.
I, Rikuya, was given a case of a woman who was murdered last night—Eira Yume. I had just returned to work after my psychological treatment. My superior gave me this case out of pity, to help me ease back in.
Today, I’m going to the victim’s home to investigate further.
