    "Veritas odium parit."

    It's a normal day in Syzygy, and in its heart, a corpse is rotting.

    After countless years of misery, self-hatred, and chasing any sense of belonging they can get, Ryuko Minerva finally feels like they've broken that cycle of imprisonment. Now head of the nation's largest nuclear energy plant, they have more than they could've ever imagined: an actual stable job, real friends, and freedom from the hellhole they grew up in.

    But that sense of security doesn't last. Nothing ever does.

    Their best friend has been found murdered within their own facility right under their nose. And they have no choice but to cast everything aside and unravel what really happened that day.

    Amidst all the panic, contradictions, struggles, and clues, will the real killer and motive ever come to light?

    And can something really be a lie if there was never a truth?
