The night had settled over Yukihime High School, casting the campus in shadows and soft moonlight. The air was cool, carrying a slight breeze that whispered through the trees, and the sounds of the daytime festival had quieted, leaving an eerie calm in its wake. The once bustling school grounds now felt different, cloaked in mystery, as the night opened up a new chapter of the festival—one that was not for the faint of heart.
Theo, Ayia, Shizuka, Sam, Sayuri, June, Ryoko, Kumiko, Shoko, Max, Lauren, Gwen, and Kin had regrouped after enjoying the day's events. The sun had set, but the night was still young, and they were eager to experience the next attraction on their list: the Nighttime Scavenger Hunt organized by the Mysterious Detective Book Club.
