The media reported that famous novelist Junsei Takamine disappeared while gathering research for an upcoming novel. Mafuyu, an aspiring journalist, suspected that something was wrong. Why would his mentor simply vanish into thin air? Mafuyu decided to conduct a private search for his friend, with the investigation eventually leading to the grounds of a secluded mansion.

Her family has a history of people gifted with a special "sixth sense." Like the rest of her family, Miku can "see things" that ordinary people cannot. Because of her special ability, Miku has had a difficult time maintaining friendships. Most people she encounters find her a little strange. Mafuyu, her brother, is the only one who accepts her for who she is; after all, he understands what she's going through. A huge mansion stands beneath a mountain at the edge of a small, nameless village. It is said that long ago the mansion belonged to a powerful landowner who had absolute control over the entire area. The locals still talk about the Himuro family, referring to the many rumors and myths surrounding them. However, none of the townsfolk are willing to approach the mansion, which has now fallen into a state of disrepair. 24 25 Mafuyu Hinasaki Mafuyu is Miku's brother. After the mysterious death of their parents, he is the only family Miku has left. Mafuyu visits the Himuro mansion in search of Takamine, a famous novelist and his mentor, who has disappeared. Mafuyu also has a sixth sense and, just like his mother, can seal a spirit's soul in a photograph with the special antique camera.

Tomoe Hirasaka Tomoe is Takamine's assistant. She too has disappeared while visiting the Himuro mansion with Takamine and Koji. Much like Miku, Tomoe also has a sixth sense. Prior to their departure, she had an ominous premonition regarding the mansion, and now she too is missing. 26 27 Item Descriptions Camera This camera has the amazing ability to capture images that can't be seen by ordinary people.
