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.

The classroom door opens slowly.

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

Mizuki stands confidently near the board, bowing slightly.

Mizuki: "I'm Mizuki Kagami. I hope we get along."

Kaito watches her, surprised, trying to "read" her voice.

(Inner voice): "Mizuki... her voice... there's nothing in it I can analyze? Impossible..."

A close-up of her black notebook.

"The same thing I was researching... This isn't a coincidence."

Kaito silently watches her breathing.

A shot of his wide eyes.

A shot of Mizuki's steady eyes.

(Inner voice):

"Zero wavering... zero false tone..."

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?"

Page 8

A tense silence between them, exchanged glances, the tension in the air.

(Inner voice):

"Reading me? Does she know who I am?"

 (Inner voice): "I spent my life analyzing lies… listening behind every word… until I could hear the truth in their trembling."

Back in class, the teacher is writing on the board.

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

Mizuki is writing in her notebook.

A snapshot of what she wrote: "A voice doesn't betray… unless you want it to."

(Inner voice): "Who are you?"

The bell rings. Students begin to leave. Kaito is frozen in place.

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

---

Page 13

Mizuki walks past him, stops for a moment: "Kaito… does your voice betray you too?"

 ---

Page 14

A shot of his surprised eyes, a calm, enigmatic smile on his face.

(Inner voice):

"The game has begun… a voice without beginning… and perhaps without end."

Flashback: A former teacher speaks to Kaito in a dark scene:

"If you want to know when someone is lying… listen to what isn't said."

(Inner voice):

"People leave a tone… except her."

 (Inner voice):

"No voice recordings… no academic data…"

"Your voice is yours… until someone else speaks for you."

---

Page 21

A close-up of the symbol on the note—a sound waveform.

(Inner voice):

"Who wrote this?"

---

Page 22

Kaito is on his bed, staring at the ceiling.

(Inner voice):

"Is this the beginning of a game? A test? A curse?"

---

Page 23

An inner voice that sounds like his brother's.

"You can't reveal everything… some lies protect you."

 ---

Page 24

Kaito opens his old notebooks and sees the same symbol on his old teacher's.

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

---

The next day. Kaito returns, more cautious.

Mizuki walks past him and whispers, "Don't try to read every voice… some can't be read, they can be felt."

---

Page 26

Kaito smiles, but it's a nervous smile.

(Inner voice): "She's not just a student… she's a walking message."

Page 27 (The End)

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."
