Synopsis
Yukino's best friend sends a cryptic "run" message, pulling her into classmates' dark secrets and unraveling friendships.
Yukino's ordinary school life takes a dark turn when she receives a cryptic message from her best friend Saho. The unsettling final word—"run"—leaves her with more questions than answers. As Yukino tries to make sense of this mysterious warning, she finds herself drawn into a web of secrets and hidden tensions among her classmates. What began as a simple friendship now threatens to unravel everything she thought she knew about the people closest to her. (Source: Sound of Jewels)
