Synopsis

Spoiler shield

After his sister, Sara, accidentally kills her threatening teacher in self-defense, Wataru makes a desperate decision to protect her. He uses an AI chatbot to generate a plan for the "perfect crime," staging the crime scene and covering up evidence based on the AI's instructions to make it look like a random homicide.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
