On the bustling Berkeley campus, Jace, a student with a shadow of his past, is confronted with a mystery.

Nine years ago, his childhood best friend left, and then rumors brought the news of his death. But among the freshmen, Jace notices a newcomer: his smile, gestures, the habit of holding coffee—everything seems eerily familiar.

Is the friend alive? Or is it just a coincidence? In the library, Jace casually asks questions, trying to hide his excitement behind chatter.

Each freshman's answer is like a clue in a puzzle that can bring back a friend or shatter hope. Is this meeting hiding the truth or an illusion?
