Plot
Volumes 1 and 2 on this disc.

1. Is it possible for one person to be so lucky? Shinji Nagumo seems to lead a charmed life amidst the inherent dangers of building a skyscraper. Unfortunately, everyone around Nagumo has been rather unlucky - fatally so.

It's up to Subaru Sumeragi, the most powerful medium in Japan, to piece together the clues before there's another death. Are the accidents due to just bad luck and random chance, or is it something more sinister at work?

Subaru will have to work fast, because the lucky Mr. Nagumo has made many enemies. And one of them is ready to sacrifice everything to create a creature that will end Nagumo's lucky streak - permanently!

2. Terror is stalking the subways. Women were once safe, but now each morning's train carries another brutally butchered body. Without a motive, the police are helpless against this psychotic killer.

With nowhere else to turn, Mirei Hidaka, a psychic "postcognitive" is called in. Using her sense of touch, Mireii can feel the currents of the past and has the ability to witness murders hours of days after they've been committed. But just as the threads are slowly starting to come together, Mirei's own life is in jeopardy!

It's now up to Subaru Sumeragi, to save the day. But this case won't be solved until the separate strands of destiny have been re-woven into a new pattern - one the binds Subaru Mirei, and a psychotic murder.
