## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A fugue of autumn in an empty lecture hall, a single coffee cup left on the desk. The professor who quit so the world would stop hating him nonetheless traces the same predator’s script in student essays. When a colleague slides a cold case across the table, the past’s shadow lengthens further.

Kiyoshi Kurosawa folds quiet dread into genre like an origami knife.

**Mood tags**: cerebral, dread, slow-burn
