Neriah is a senior high school student in a tightly regulated academy where select students are trained to solve real cases as part of their final-year track. She's observant, sarcastic, and very careful-especially around water. When a suspicious flood destroys school records and threatens to overturn a student election, Neriah is assigned to investigate alongside a partner who notices far too much. The case looks simple. The culprit confesses. The system moves on. But the water doesn't. It gathers where it shouldn't, presses where it was never directed, and responds to Neriah in ways that feel uncomfortably familiar.
