When Samantha, a gentle soul burdened by a strange and enigmatic past, vanished without a trace, the world assumed the worst—that she had been abducted, possibly even killed. Yet, as her best friend Kathleen set out to uncover the truth, she and her companions unearthed far more than they had anticipated. What lay beneath Samantha's disappearance was a labyrinth of secrets tied to forces beyond the natural world, forces that had quietly shaped her life for years.

As Kathleen's investigation deepened, she discovered a hidden network of individuals connected to Samantha’s past, people who seemed to know more about her than even she did. But darker revelations soon surfaced—Samantha’s current circle of friends, trusted and familiar, were not what they appeared. They had long been watching her, waiting for the moment she would unlock a doorway into realms no human was meant to access.

Before Kathleen and her team could traverse the realms in their quest to rescue her, Samantha inexplicably reappeared—or did she?

"An unmistakable sign will reveal itself... ah?" Dryzza muttered as she watched the thunderous crack of lightning illuminated the darkened skies, splitting the heavens like fractured glass. 


Tomoya's cryptic parting warning replayed in her mind, pulling at her resolve. She had been so certain that Samantha’s house was the epicenter of the unfolding events, yet Tomoya's influence had sown seeds of doubt. 


Her hesitance now felt like a betrayal of her instincts, and she couldn’t shake the regret that perhaps she had miscalculated the significance of this moment. 


As the storm escalated, an eerie rumbling began to emanate from beneath the earth, growing in intensity with each passing second. The ground trembled violently, as though some ancient force sought to tear through the confines of its subterranean prison.
