On a certain day, while following her usual routine at the orphanage, teaching the younger orphans and helping the nuns, 17-year-old Selena, too old to be adopted, saw the High Priest unexpectedly visit the orphanage.
——High Priest Erwin, it's an honor to have you visit our orphanage.
Sister Lilia, one of the nuns of the orphanage, greeted the High Priest with a deep bow. The Head Priest, who normally managed the orphanage, was out that day.
"....?"
Selena, curious, began to eavesdrop. She wondered if it had anything to do with the incident a few days ago.
She had dreamt of a murder in the village. A farmer girl named Ellen was the victim in her dream. Feeling a sense of unease, Selena convinced Ellen to stay home that day.
Perhaps, because of that, crime shifted.
Another village girl was murdered instead—on the route Ellen would have taken if she hadn't stayed home.
