Synopsis

Two years ago, the assassination of the President of the Akatsora Federation shocked the world.
The only suspect vanished without a trace.
Now living under a new identity, Reina Aoki has left her criminal past behind. She spends her days attending university, teasing her quiet new neighbor, and pretending the ghosts of her past no longer exist.
Her neighbor, known only as Shadow, is an introverted young man with no past, no real name, and too many secrets. Calm, observant, and strangely difficult to read, he seems like the last person who would get caught up in someone else's life.
But as the two grow closer, mysterious photographs begin appearing in unknown hands. Invisible eyes watch their every move, and long-buried truths slowly begin to resurface.
In a city where every shadow hides a secret and every lie hides a reason, the line between justice and betrayal begins to disappear.
Because sometimes...
The person everyone calls a murderer is innocent.
