For Makoto Akiyama, life had always been simple. School, work, then summer. He liked keeping everything simple and the same. Part of the simple routine was going to the secret old dock by the lake he had found years back with his close friend Miki, during summer break. The lonely dock was a getaway for him, somewhere without worries. The water's waves making calming noises, the trees leaves slowly moving along with the wind, and the birds chirping away from time to time. What could possibly wrong with it? Well, one thing..that haunts Makoto to this very day. A fear that ruled by a horrific memory.....But other than that it was fine.
One day, during the summer break, Makoto had headed towards the dock...but to his surprise, he wasn't the only one there this time. His simple routine would forever be ruined...who was this guest, and how did they find it?
