Homicide investigators employ supernatural abilities to unravel their cases, while also navigating their own complex emotions for one another. Officer Asako, a member of a specialized investigative unit, possesses the remarkable ability to perceive and replicate the residual thoughts of murder victims, manifesting their wounds on his own body. Alongside his partner, the reserved Detective Kuroiwa, they tirelessly work to solve the most challenging cases. In a surprising twist, one of their cases involves the murder of Superintendent Kuroiwa's ex-wife, Mari. Upon arriving at the crime scene, Asako experiences a sudden collapse and begins to bleed profusely from a wound that mysteriously appears on his back. However, the question remains: What are Mari's final thoughts about her ex-husband, Kuroiwa, and what does Asako's unexpected reaction to them signify?
