Summary	In a desolate coastal research institute, a quiet observer's world of microscopes and marine specimens is upended. The beacon of Shiomaki Lighthouse—a distant, alluring mystery—has vanished into the viscous midnight fog. For months, bizarre light anomalies have haunted sailors at "the Devil's Cape," leading to shipwrecks and escalating dread. Now, the light is gone, and a frantic investigation by the narrator and the astute Director Higashiya reveals a shattered lamp room, a dead keeper, and terrifying whispers of a monstrous, red apparition. As Higashiya meticulously reconstructs a chilling plot of sabotage and murder, the line between human depravity and the supernatural blurs. What dark secret truly extinguished Shiomaki's light?
