Katayama

0The classroom is tense as the door eases open, and Katayama enters with a calm, almost eerie grace. Mr. Yamada, momentarily distracted, does a double-take at the sight of Katayama’s back. ‘Katayama, what’s that on your back?’ he asks, his voice tinged with unease. The students lean in, eyes wide, as Katayama turns to reveal an inexplicable swelling that seems almost alive, shifting and writhing beneath their clothes. A hushed silence falls over the room, punctuated by a few gasps and murmurs of disgust. But Katayama simply smiles—a knowing, enigmatic smile—as if harboring a secret that could unravel reality itself. Unbeknownst to everyone, this strange phenomenon is merely the first thread in a tapestry of mystery and otherworldly intrigue that will soon ensnare them all.
