The Rooftop Mystery

Kairo Tanaka – 16-year-old student detective Riku – class representative, Kairo’s friend Ms. Sato – teacher

Toma – senior student, basketball captain --- Mysterious music builds

Kairo (narration): > They say the school rooftop is haunted… but ghosts don’t lock doors from

the inside. --- School rooftop entrance Ms. Sato: “The door’s been locked all

morning, but when we opened it—Toma was unconscious!” Riku: “No key, no footprints.

How could anyone escape?” Kairo (observing quietly): “A locked room with no exit…

or so it seems.” Camera pans to a mop bucket, a broken broom handle, and a puddle near

the door. Kairo (thinking): “Water… and something’s wedged inside the lock.”
