After waking up on the floor of a strange house seventy years in the past, Takashi must embark on a new case and in answering these questions he can return to his own time. Takashi realises that the time warp has left him with special powers - the ability to read a person’s mind, with which he has a brief glimpse into the mind of the person he is talking with.
