Summary
In The Graveyard That Yearns, a series of mysterious deaths near an old Yokohama cemetery draws the Armed Detective Agency into a chilling investigation. Victims vanish without a trace—only to reappear as eerily lifelike statues among the graves. Rampo Edogawa, Yosano Akiko, and Fukuzawa Yukichi uncover that the culprit isn’t a person, but a ghost-like, sentient ability—Resonant Mourner—left behind after the death of poet and ability-user Hagiwara Sakutarō. This disembodied grief manifests through whispers, draining the souls of those who hear it and turning them into stone-like vessels of sorrow. As the trio confront the restless spirit, they realise it seeks not vengeance, but understanding. Through empathy and recognition, they release the trapped souls and finally bring peace to the haunted graveyard.

Summary
After a failed suicide attempt, Kyouka Izumi is stitched up and stabilised by Yosano Akiko at the Armed Detective Agency. As Yosano tends to her wounds with practised grace and clinical detachment, Kyouka delivers a single, bitter line that betrays the raw pain within her. What follows is not a lecture, nor a scolding, but a rare, vulnerable exchange—one woman shaped by war, the other by silence—who find themselves suddenly tethered by more than just thread and blood.

Summary
After a brutal battle, Yosano Akiko uses her ability Thou Shalt Not Die to save critically wounded victims by inflicting even more pain to activate her power. As she moves through the wreckage treating the dying, she’s hailed as a miracle worker—but every life she saves deepens her internal torment. Her power requires suffering, and those she rescues often fear her more than death itself. Back at the Agency, she confides in Ranpo, revealing the emotional toll her ability takes. Though she’s seen as a saviour, Yosano feels more like a necessary demon—one who heals through agony and bears the weight of survival alone.
