found a photograph of myself from 10 years ago… but I don't remember being there. 📷

The mystery continues in Episode 16「写真の中の場所」.

After discovering a mysterious photograph inside her apartment, Misaki travels with the man from the station to an old hotel in the mountains.

At the hotel, the receptionist reveals something shocking: a young woman who looked exactly like Misaki stayed there ten years ago.

Then Misaki discovers an old photograph, a key, and room 302.

But the biggest mystery is waiting inside the room.

A letter with her name is on the table.

And it asks:

「あなたは、十年前のことを本当に覚えていませんか?」

Did Misaki really visit this hotel ten years ago?

What happened in room 302?

And why does someone know so much about her?
