Despite extensive police investigation, the culprit vanished without a trace, and the case remained unresolved. Over the next 19 years, the fates of many individuals connected to the case took bizarre turns: the suspects from that year died one after another, a bank employee's death was suspected to be suicide, a private detective disappeared without a trace... Old detective Junzo Sasagaki relentlessly pursued the case, discovering that these seemingly independent incidents shared a common thread. An invisible force spanning decades not only obscured the truth but also gradually twisted the destinies of those who tried to approach it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- "There is no sun in my sky, only perpetual night, but it's not dark, because there's something that replaces the sun. Although it's not as bright as the sun, it's enough for me. With this light, I can turn night into day. Do you understand? I never had a sun, so I'm not afraid of losing it." "My life is like walking under the midnight sun."
