Summary	A year after her husband, gunner Komori Yasukichi, vanished with the sunken whaling ship *Hokkai Maru*, his widow struggles to survive, serving drinks in a desolate Nemuro port bar. Her grief-stricken world shatters when Yasukichi's spectral figure appears at her door—alive, yet haunted by an unspeakable terror. Before she can flee with their child, he is brutally murdered, leaving behind only two cryptic words scrawled in blood. Now, caught in a monstrous conspiracy that reaches from the frozen North Pacific to the highest echelons of the whaling company, she must brave the treacherous waters of truth to uncover what truly happened to the *Hokkai Maru* and why her husband returned only to be silenced. What dark secrets are they desperate to keep buried, and how many lives will be sacrificed to protect them?
