The premise

we follow forensic scientist Higa Mika as she struggles to step out of Professor Asakawa Toru's shadow and become an independent scientist. For some reason, it seems that she's stuck being his assistant and can't progress any further, when a female junior high school student gets strangled in the jurisdiction of the Nishihara Police Station.

Horror Vault's take

Forensic scientist Higa Mika is a skilled professional trapped in the long shadow of her domineering mentor, Professor Asakawa — unable to advance no matter how hard she strives. When a young female student is found strangled in the Nishihara precinct, Mika finds herself drawn into a case that may finally force her to stand on her own. This prequel spin-off peels back the layers of a woman caught between institutional pressure and a deepening mystery with unsettling undercurrents. The occult keyword hints that not everything about this case will have a purely rational explanation.
