Story

The first part, Time Knot: Reflection, has two girls at a beach where one of them finds an old camera. She develops the film and finds that she's in a photo, arm-in-arm with a young man, despite not remembering the picture being taken. She then finds out the camera is a model that has not yet been released.

The second part, Mystery Article: File 538, follows a detective investigating the mysterious disappearances of airplanes, and his investigation into a father and daughter.
