After a summer of quiet solitude, Lumine returns to school only to face an unexpected void—her closest friend transfers away, leaving her adrift in a sea of unfamiliar faces. Determined to rebuild her social life, Lumine navigates cliques, secrets, and the pressures of adolescence while uncovering cryptic notes left behind by her departed friend. As she forges new bonds, her choices shape not only her friendships but also reveal hidden truths about the school’s enigmatic history. But when rumors surface about students disappearing at night, Lumine must decide: trust her new allies or expose the darkness lurking beneath the campus’s cheerful facade.
