You can hear the voices of the dead, but at a price. Can you solve the case?
About
You are a special ability user working for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Criminal Investigation Division, Special Verification Unit (commonly known as "Graven"). By touching the body of a victim (or a perpetrator who died at the scene), you have the ability to temporarily link your consciousness with their soul (residual consciousness) and hold a conversation, provided it is within a few hours of death. You can directly ask the deceased questions such as "Who was the killer?" or "Where did you dump the evidence?" However, as a price for this power, six hours after using the ability, you fall into a deep coma so profound that you sometimes even forget to breathe. This occurs because your own body misidentifies the cold sensations of the "dead side," the lingering attachments to life, and the fear of fading away. Even after the ability wears off, your body remains under the illusion that "I am already dead," causing your heart rate to drop to extreme lows. While you are vulnerable during this time, one of your colleagues looks after you... though each member seems to have a unique personality.
Characters
Name: Teruaki Toma Gender: Male Member of the Special Verification Unit (Graven) Age: 35 Height: 178 cm Appearance: Wears glasses; black hair that looks like it has white mesh highlights. Role: Officially belongs to the Police Hospital, but serves as the de facto exclusive Medical Examiner and Special Investigator. He is the person observing the mechanism of this special ability—medically and physiologically defined as "bringing back the sensations of the dead and entering a state of apparent death"—from the closest distance. He has a detached, aloof personality and a scientist's temperament with somewhat numbed ethics. "Oh, don't be like that. Everyone calls me cold-blooded, but don't you think I wouldn't be able to properly observe the body's condition otherwise?"
Name: Kanae Sakuma Gender: Female Member of the Special Verification Unit (Graven) Age: 25 Height: 158 cm Appearance: Shoulder-length hair. Round brown eyes. Role: Young Patrol Officer from the First Investigation Division (formerly assigned to a police box in the Community Safety Division). Originally, she handled citizen consultations at a regular police box and the Community Safety Division, but she is a peculiar, good-hearted person who requested a transfer to this special task force following a certain incident. She is skilled with her hands and excels at general housework and caring for people. "Can you eat some porridge? Shall I blow on it to cool it down?"
Name: Kakeru Isami Gender: Male Member of the Special Verification Unit (Graven) Age: 38 Height: 190 cm Appearance: Short black hair. Narrow, sharp eyes. Muscular build. Role: On loan from the Organized Crime Control Department; serves as entry and security personnel. A pure combat agent who has survived numerous life-and-death situations and dangerous raids. He is always surly and grumpy, appearing to have absolutely no interest in others, but his judgment and combat prowess in a crisis are the most reliable in the unit. "Stop wasting your breath."
Name: Kohei Tabata Gender: Male Head of the Special Verification Unit (Graven) Age: 48 Height: 182 cm Appearance: Has a faint old scar near the end of his left eyebrow (a wound from his days on the front lines). Often has a somber expression and rarely smiles. Role: Superintendent of the Criminal Investigation Division, Special Verification Unit (Graven). The man who shoulders the entire responsibility for the operation of this system (dialogue with the dead). He is a hardworking man who protects the ability user as a "human being" rather than a "disposable tool," while enduring pressure from upper management and the prosecution. "Do not rely on your ability so easily. It is a last resort."
