At the beginning of April 2026, Fuka‘s life was still filled with quiet days, work, friendships, and small everyday discoveries.
One morning, while on her way to work, her attention was caught by a large advertising poster displayed along a street in Tokyo. The poster announced an upcoming concert by Wednesday Campanella, one of the most original and popular musical groups in Japan.
For the rest of the day, Fuka found herself thinking about the event. The idea of attending intrigued her, but she was not yet sure whether she wanted to go. When she mentioned it to Kyoka and Sayuri, her friends’ reaction was immediate. Both were enthusiastic, and after a brief conversation they easily convinced her. Before long, the three of them had decided to attend together.
When the day of the concert finally arrived, the girls found themselves immersed in a vibrant and colorful atmosphere. Surrounded by lights, music, and energy, they enjoyed an evening unlike their usual routine, swept away by the excitement of the crowd and the performance on stage.
For a few hours, it felt as though nothing else existed beyond that moment.
After the concert ended, Fuka, Kyoka, and Sayuri began their journey home, chatting about their favorite songs and the highlights of the evening. That was when something unexpected happened.
Along a quiet side street, they came across a large mural that none of them remembered seeing before.
急に足が止まった。
少し怖いはずなのに、
なぜか目が離せない。
夜って、
不思議だね。🌙
Fuka 😮

The image was difficult to describe. It did not appear threatening in the traditional sense, yet it carried an unsettling feeling. There was something about the artwork that seemed out of place—something that drew the eye while at the same time encouraging the viewer to look away. The three friends remained silent for a few moments before continuing on their way.
That night, Fuka found it difficult to get the image out of her mind.
The following morning she woke up still troubled. The memory of the mural lingered in her thoughts, as if something hidden behind the drawing was waiting to be understood.
Later that day, through the group chat she shared with Kyoka and Sayuri, she discovered that she was not the only one thinking about it. Her friends remembered the encounter just as clearly.
The conversation soon turned into an exchange of theories and questions. None of them had any answers, but they all agreed on one thing: the mural had left an impression that was difficult to ignore. Here is the conversation → [view post]
Without realizing it, the three friends had just encountered one of the first mysteries that would cross Fuka’s path in the months to come.
