THE WANDERING SOUL

She woke up in the dark. She didn’t know she was already gone. Sayoko awakens in the abandoned wing of her school, disoriented and unable to remember how she arrived there. The truth reveals itself only after she returns home—her family goes on with their lives, unaware of her presence. They cannot see her. They cannot hear her. Sayoko is no longer among the living. Determined to understand her fate, she begins to wander across the prefecture, following scattered clues that may explain her death—and uncover who was responsible. Along the way, she is drawn into the orbit of others touched by the unseen: A boy who can see ghosts, her fragile connection to the world she lost A male spirit with no memory of his past, bound to the same restless path A quiet, unsettling girl who knows far more than she admits A young officer and an exorcist, both pursuing truths that refuse to stay buried As the shadows deepen and secrets surface, Sayoko must face the answer she fears most: what truly happened to her—and who was the one who took her life.
