This episode tells the story of four childhood friends bound by a chilling secret from their past. Years after a strange encounter in the woods outside their sleepy Japanese town, they're drawn back to confront the resurfacing mystery and its terrifying consequences.
The podcast follows Hiro, now a scientist haunted by the memory of that night; Makoto, a detective determined to uncover the truth; and Ayumi, a folklorist whose knowledge of ancient lore might hold the key to understanding what they face. The sources do not explicitly name the fourth friend.
Their investigation leads them to a web of government secrecy, unexplained phenomena, and terrifying creatures that defy explanation. They must confront not only the tangible threats, but also the psychological scars left by their childhood experience.
