he heard the voice of the dead

This is a poignant, albeit brief, exploration of grief and resentment. The strongest element is the conceptual hook—the physical manifestation of guilt through a sister's ghost—which provides a tangible anchor for the emotional conflict between Saiki and Kaminari. The atmosphere is consistently somber and evocative. However, the primary drawback is the narrative's length. With only four chapters, the story feels more like a novella or a conceptual sketch than a fully realized novel. There isn't enough room to truly breathe through the transition from hatred to reconciliation, leaving the emotional payoff feeling rushed. While the premise is compelling, the brevity limits the overall impact of the character arcs. It serves as a moody vignette of lost time and lingering pain, but it lacks the structural depth required for a truly immersive experience.
