Nightmare Detective

Rain-slicked alley behind a convenience store. A man’s wrist bleeds into his pyjama sleeve as he slumps in a folding chair, still strapped to the frame. Keiko Kirishima kneels beside the body, her flashlight catching the faint smell of burnt sugar and antiseptic. Tsukamoto’s neon-drenched Tokyo churns with a new kind of plague—death masquerading as sleep.
