P51 / VOLUME 2 / The Handcuffs
The Victim Who Waits
The case left answers behind. Now they must keep those answers from becoming another story. After the events of The Perfect Alibi, Arai and Sakamoto must put each piece in its place: a statement made before the investigation, an annotated image, a lead, evidence. Amid the media noise, “memory,” “prediction,” and “guilt” blur together far too easily.
