Episodes
Episode 1The Piano That Plays ItselfFree to readThree days before the choir contest, the music-room piano starts playing itself. Timid Momo, jump-to-conclusions Ren, and you — the verification leader — track the rumor to its true face.
Episode 2Someone at the Bottom of the PoolMembersA figure stands at the bottom of the school's locked pool — but only at dusk, says the rumor. Before the repair works begin, Momo, Ren and you must pin down the shadow's true face… and someone, it seems, visited the pool before the rumor ever spread.
Episode 3The Rumor With No True FaceMembersThe new art-room rumor yields nothing, however hard you look. Zero witnesses. Zero conditions. A rumor with no phenomenon behind it — so this time, the thing to verify is the rumor itself.
Episode 4Before the Rumor Is BornMembersFor the first time, you reach the site before the rumor does. With the teacher and custodian in on the stakeout, you wait for the poster's author — but the figure who steps into the flashlight's circle is not the mastermind anyone expected.Inside the series world
