Trace Of Emotion
They say the dead can’t speak.
But I’ve learned they never stop feeling.
Yushi Karl was just a boy when his entire family was murdered in their home — with no explanation, no suspect, and only a single clue left behind: a folded, blank piece of paper soaked in emotion no human should feel.
That was the day he awakened his curse.
The ability to read the lingering emotions left behind on objects, places, and people — pain, rage, sorrow... fear.
Now seventeen and assigned to the Special Case Division, Yushi uses his gift to solve the crimes no one else can.
Murders where the only witnesses are the echoes of emotion left by the victims.
But every case pulls him closer to the truth behind his own tragedy — and to the one who left that folded paper behind. The one who may still be watching him.
In a city haunted by feeling, Yushi doesn’t just investigate death.
He listens to what the dead still feel.
