About

When a quiet, strange boy named Kaname transfers into Mio's class, she is the one who reaches out — trying to help him settle in, trying to be kind. Then he starts showing up at her house. Then he won't leave. The kindness she offered is now a door she can't close, and whatever is behind Kaname's unsettling behaviour is darker than anything she imagined. Mizuki Tsujimura's horror novel turns a familiar social situation — the new kid who doesn't fit in — into something genuinely frightening, where the instinct to be helpful becomes the trap. A story about the terrifying discovery that the person you tried to save might be the person you need saving from.
