Summary	Uzawa Ken'ichi, a dedicated medical student, finds his world irrevocably shattered when his esteemed mentor, Dr. Kasagami, and his wife commit a shocking suicide, leaving behind a cryptic note for Uzawa to unseal a year later. This devastating event shadows the recent, unnatural death of Dr. Kenuma, whom Uzawa was the last to see alive. Driven by unsettling discoveries—a torn photographic plate, a chilling threatening letter laced with German and blood type symbols that strangely connect to his own birth—Uzawa begins to suspect a meticulously orchestrated murder. His reverence for Dr. Kasagami clashes with the creeping dread of hidden motives and a labyrinthine conspiracy. As he waits for the truth to be revealed, Uzawa must confront a past he never knew, risking his sanity and his very identity. What dark secrets lie buried beneath the surface of these tragedies?
