Summary	Yoshinao, a young man caught between family obligations and the suffocating grip of his manipulative uncle, Shinpei, finds his world unraveling. Haunted by cryptic visions of a mysterious tower and a recurring black butterfly—a symbol tied to his foster father's descent into madness—Yoshinao's unease escalates. A tense confrontation with his uncle, punctuated by unsettling accusations and a chilling mention of the black butterfly, shatters his carefully constructed deceptions. As reality blurs, Yoshinao is plunged into a labyrinth of suspicion. He must unravel the sinister secrets surrounding his foster family's wealth and his foster mother's disappearance. Is his uncle a predator, or is Yoshinao's own mind succumbing to madness? As shadows close in, will he find the truth, or will he, like the elusive black butterfly, simply vanish without a trace?
