A Knot in Time — Reflection — Mayu found a camera floating in the ocean while she was on vacation. A very unusual camera.

And soon, Mayu finds herself swinging uncontrollably back and forth through time like a pendulum... Mystery Case — File 538 — A down-on-his-luck detective accepts the first case to come his way: surveillance of a man and a little girl. But who are they? And why do aeroplanes that fly over them turn into giant imperial carp? An investigator's normal methods do not apply when reality itself no longer applies...
