Sheishin High: Echoes of the Past
For ten years, the Detective Club of Sheishin High has been buried under a shroud of tragedy. Once celebrated as the Silent Six, its members were discredited after trying to expose a string of suspicious deaths. Three were killed. Two vanished. One was expelled. The club was dissolved-and the school was left cursed by silence. Leo Vance, whose family was destroyed by the incident, is determined to resurrect the club and clear their name. But no one dares to join, until Aria Thorne, a transfer student and self-proclaimed mystery fanatic, hears the rumor of the Detective Club and signs up, eager for a real-life case-unaware of the bloodstained legacy she's walking into. Their revival is soon met with a murder that perfectly mirrors one of the Silent Six's unsolved cases. As Leo and Aria pursue the truth, all evidence points toward the traumatized sole survivor of the original club, seemingly enacting a twisted revenge. But Aria begins to suspect this is only the first layer of deception. To uncover the truth behind the tragedy, they must dig into the foundations of Sheishin High itself-where the true killer, the unseen architect of the first massacre, waits to finish the job they started ten years ago.
