I feel like I've forgotten someone important…
Yuuma Kurose, a lonely boy who can see ghosts, is plagued by a recurring nightmare. As if drawn by some unseen force, he returns to the hometown that haunts his dreams. There, he meets a boy named Kaito, who is surrounded by terrifying spirits. "I'll always protect you," Kaito says with an unexpectedly serious look. But the moment they touch, the spirits surrounding Kaito suddenly possess Yuuma…?! A cool, obsessive seme and a brave, unlucky uke. Their reunion stirs time, once frozen, into motion once more.
