Mai, a high school student, arrives at her new school with aspirations for a fresh beginning. Her hopes quickly unravel when she encounters her classmate, Shino. A wave of uncomfortable recognition washes over Mai, as she realizes Shino is the very girl her middle school friends mercilessly bullied, leaving deep, unseen scars. Now, the dynamics have dramatically shifted. Shino, no longer the vulnerable victim, exudes a quiet but formidable presence. Her past suffering has forged an undeniable strength, and she holds a clear position of influence within the new school's social landscape. Mai finds herself caught in a web of guilt and apprehension, forced to confront her past association with the bullies. The film delves into Mai's growing fear as she navigates this new reality, wondering if Shino, the "demon covered in scars," intends to seek vengeance or simply assert her hard-won dominance.
