A wide shot of the school from the outside. The sky is overcast, and a light rain is falling.
Inner voice – Kaito
"The most dangerous lies are not those that are told, but those that are heard and believed."
A close-up of the windows with raindrops sliding down them. The classroom is silent inside.
Inner voice
"Words can deceive, but the voice never lies."
A close-up of Kaito looking out of the window, the rain reflecting on his face.

A quiet classroom. A student stands nervously before the teacher.
Student:
"Sorry, Miss, I forgot my homework."
A close-up of Kaito watching the student with sharp eyes.
(Inner voice):
"A lie. A slight hesitation… a tremor on the second word… that fake tone doesn't fool me."
A close-up of the student's mouth as he slurs his words slightly.

Teacher: "We have a new student... Please come in and introduce yourself."

Frame 1: Kaito murmurs in surprise,
"...This is impossible."
Mizuki, without looking at him:
"Sometimes impossible is nothing more than temporary ignorance."
Then she turns to him:
"Were you trying to read my voice?"

A tense silence between them, exchanged glances, the tension in the air.
(Inner voice):
"Reading me? Does she know who I am?"

(Inner voice): "No false voice… no wavering… impossible."

(Inner voice): "First time… I have no answer."

"Who wrote this?"

Kaito is on his bed, staring at the ceiling.
(Inner voice):
"Is this the beginning of a game? A test? A curse?"

An inner voice that sounds like his brother's.
"You can't reveal everything… some lies protect you."

(Inner voice): "I'm just a thread from the past…"

Kaito smiles, but it's a nervous smile.
(Inner voice): "She's not just a student… she's a walking message."

A shot from above the classroom.
Kaito writes in his notebook: "Unknown Voice – The Auditory Ghost Theory"
(Inner voice): "The beginning was with the voice… and the end… will not be silent."
