n the enigmatic village of Kage-Mura, shrouded in the myths of yore, lived Akari, a girl with eyes that sought the unseen. The village, a tapestry of ancient secrets and whispered fables, cradled Akari in its dark embrace, nurturing her curiosity about the old legends.
The arrival of summer propelled Akari into a realm vastly different from her own. She journeyed to the bustling city of Yami-Shi, to stay with her Aunt Noriko. The city's unrelenting rhythm and hidden shadows stood in stark contrast to Kage-Mura's mystical silence.
Amidst the labyrinthine streets of Yami-Shi, Akari found companionship in three locals: Hiro, whose laughter concealed cryptic knowledge; Yui, an artist whose work hinted at otherworldly truths; and Daichi, a history enthusiast with insights that often veered into the uncanny.
A mysterious invitation beckoned Akari and her friends to a masquerade ball, an event veiled in secrecy and enigma. The quest for the perfect mask led her through Yami-Shi's shadow-filled alleys, drawing her ever closer to the city's hidden heart.
