Chapter 10 — The Handler

Daichi Hayashi has been many things: husband, father, protector, government worker.

But there is another part of his life Riku has never known.

Behind closed doors, hidden files, and classified reports, Daichi works within P.A.T.H. — an organization built to monitor, contain, and suppress incidents connected to the spaces between worlds.

Riku’s disappearance was not normal.

Sara’s arrival was not random.

And now, the impossible thing Daichi has spent years investigating has entered his own home.

As P.A.T.H. turns its attention toward Riku and Sara, Daichi realizes that protecting his family may mean standing between them and the very system he serves.
