Dial the Dark

"I never thought she would jump. She never had the reason to."

When the popular, intelligent and pretty Kobayashi Rui takes her own life by jumping in front of a metro train, a sophomore girl; Minase is unable to shake the feeling that Rui was killed instead. Her death just didn't make sense, even to a forensic studies student like her. Mere days after the fateful incident; when Minase is taking the subway home, she hears Rui's voice from the lone telephone booth- except no one is there. Every time she stepped onto that platform, she would hear snippets of Rui's voice as well as conversations playing from the hung up telephone, but no one else seems to be able to hear it. Over time, the snippets of conversation turn to pleas for help, distorted screams and recordings of Rui's last moments, revealing ugly truths one after another. The whole city is changing; crows perch everywhere in Kyoto, along with supernatural happenings that shouldn't be there. Minase sets off to find out Rui's killer before it's too late, except now, her fate is too far down the twisted path to easily steer away.
