"Nine days have passed since Mafuyu, brother of Miku Hinasaki, had disappeared.
It all began about a month ago.
The media reported that famous novelist Junsei Takamine disappeared while gathering research for an upcoming novel. Mafuyu, an aspiring journalist, suspected that something was wrong. Why would his mentor simply vanish into thin air? Mafuyu decided to conduct a private search for his friend, with the investigation eventually leading to the grounds of a secluded mansion. The Himuro mansion stands silent and imposing deep within the forest. It's said that years ago the mansion belonged to a powerful landowner who had absolute control over the area. But now it's a shadow of its former self, dilapidated and desolate...
As Mafuyu searched the mansion, he found scraps of paper left by Junsei and his staff throughout the mansion. The writings recounted a number of ominous events that happened in the mansion's dark past. Eager to find additional clues within the mansion, Mafuyu rushed in and suddenly realized that he wasn't alone...
Miku came to the Himuro mansion in search of her missing brother. But she had no idea what she was getting herself into..."
(Miku) "I wonder how long it's been since my brother and I began to see things other people can't see.
My big brother...he was so sweet and kind. He was the only one I could open up to about these visions. After our mother died, he was my only family."
September 24, 1986
(Mafuyu) "So this is Himuro mansion"
(Miku) "My brother was in search of someone. Junsei Takamine, a famous novelist and a man my brother was very indebted to, disappeared while researching a book. When he told me that he got a lead on Mr. Takamine's whereabouts, I felt...uneasy...like he was going far away..."
Mafuyu and Miku Hinasaki have had the ability to see spirits for as far back as they can remember. Because of this power, they seldom become close to others, instead relying on each other for company most of the time. Mafuyu is an aspiring journalist being mentored by a famous horror novelist named Junsei Takamine. While researching the Himuro mansion for material to be used in his next book, Mr. Takamine, his assistant Tomoe Hirasaka, and his editor Koji Ogata all mysteriously disappear. Mafuyu departs to Himuro mansion to find them against Miku's wishes. Soon he too vanishes, and Miku departs to the house to find him...
