Mysterious Disappearances #1

In "The Elixir of the Moon, Part 1," Sumireko Ogawa, a book store clerk and aspiring novelist, stumbles upon a mysterious volume of poetry that feels too real to be fiction. When she reads a single verse aloud, the world shifts—she’s suddenly back at thirteen, standing at the edge of a life she thought she’d left behind.

In "The Elixir of the Moon, Part 2," Ren grows uneasy when Sumireko doesn’t show up for work, leading him to her apartment where he discovers a mysterious spellbook and a younger version of Sumireko—still caught in her strange de-aging spiral. As she clings to the life of a child, desperate to stay that way, Ren must navigate the growing mystery of the elixir’s power and what it means for her future.

In "Intermission," Ren enlists Sumireko and the reluctant Oto to infiltrate a mysterious girls' academy shrouded in disappearances. As the trio navigates the school’s eerie halls, Oto’s unease grows—especially when paired with Sumireko, whose presence only deepens the tension.
