In the abandoned village shrine, my sanity scatte…

The thick fog of Mount Long stands like a wall, trapping me and my geography club companions inside this deserted ghost village. During the day we rummage through the ruins for clues, but at night we have to fight a strange, restless heat building inside our bodies. I’m Lu Xingmian, the only boy. Kagami Juri is our pillar of calm—she always says she’ll get us out. Yet on that dusk when the fog surged back, I saw an eerie red creeping into the corners of Juri’s eyes—a red more dangerous than the sunset glow.
