Murders at the House of Death

Shijinso pension, mid-July, rain drumming on warped floorboards. Three students arrive for a retreat—novel-obsessed Yuzuru, enigmatic club leader Akechi, and sharp-eyed detective-in-training Hiruko. By dawn, a body lies beneath the staircase, door chains snapped from the outside. Feels like a pulp paperback left in a haunted drawer—someone’s following the rules, but not the ones you expect.
