Maya, holding a notebook and pencil, questions classmates in a crowded school hall, then writes beside a window while other students pass behind her.
Maya enters a tall hall, examines a frost-covered dark sphere through a magnifying glass, then crouches to inspect frost trails across the tiled floor.

Maya notices that one of the Seven Dreamlights in the academy's great hall has gone dark, but the staff insist nothing is wrong. She opens a new page in her notebook and starts her first investigation.

Page 1

Caption: Little Dreamers Academy. Seven Dreamlights keep every dream in this school alive. Maya: Six lit. Yesterday there were seven. Maya: Case one. Someone took a dream, and nobody noticed. Silver-haired woman: Nobody except her.

In the hall, Maya asks Kenji, who is carrying a stack of books: “The Dreamlights in the Great Hall. How many did you see this morning?” Kenji replies, “Uh... six? There have always been six.” A braided girl asks, “Six! Why, is it a quiz?” Ren, a blond student with glasses, says, “A seventh? Never heard of one.” Maya thinks, “Not forgotten. Erased.” Maya writes in her notebook: “Everyone remembers six. Except me. Tonight I look closer.”

Maya: “Midnight. No witnesses.” Maya: “Frost. In a room with no cold air.” Maya: “And it walked away.”
