A School Frozen in Time

冷たい校舎の時は止まる

Tsumetai Kousha no Toki wa Todomaru

On an ordinary winter morning, eight third-year students at Seinan Gakuin High School find their school completely deserted. The only people present are Takano, Mizuki, Sugawara, Rika, Shimizu, Mitsuru, Akihiko, and Keiko, all unable to leave the school grounds or reach anyone outside. Every clock is frozen at 5:53, suggesting the school is stuck in a time loop. The students realize that this precise time corresponds to the moment a previous student jumped from the building, though they cannot remember who it was. Their confusion deepens when a cryptic "Do you remember?" appears on the classroom chalkboard. As they struggle with their fragmented memories and the eerie emptiness, they must determine whether the suicide, their altered recollections, and the strange state of the school are all connected.
