残酷な童話たち
A series of standalone stories is presented. In one, Martin and his sister attempt to flee their home as children and stumble upon a disturbing sight in the woods—hanged women. The experience deeply affects them, and the sister vanishes. As an adult, Martin searches for her. Another follows Blanche, who loses everything after her home is destroyed and sets out for revenge with the help of a mysterious boy. A third centers on Aleister, who, after witnessing his mother's death and receiving a ring, is struck by its reaction 17 years later when he encounters a girl. Lastly, Teina possesses the ability to see the past and is asked by Sergeant Kaiji to assist in a case involving the murder of police officers. She recognizes him as a former lover and uncovers a hidden force obstructing her visions, hinting at a deeper mystery behind the killings.
