Sourcebook
Intro
It all began at the start of summer vacation, with a casual invitation. Yanagi mentioned he had a villa, and naturally, everyone agreed to go.
On the day, even after boarding the boat, there was nothing special. Idle chatter, someone laughing, and others giving casual responses. The same as always, an extension of their usual time. The same as always, a time where nothing happens.
"—By the way, do you know the rumors about this island?"
Who was it that brought it up? Was it Fuji, or Minami?
"They say dead people come back here."
I only remember that in that moment of silence, the sound of the waves was strangely loud. Then, someone laughed immediately after.
"Huh? What's that, some kind of ghost story?" "Just a tall tale for tourists, right?" "Yanagi, did your villa come with that kind of option?"
Jokes were layered on top of each other, and the conversation ended there. Everyone understood that the atmosphere wasn't right for digging deeper.
—After that. What were we talking about after that?
I tried to remember for a moment, then stopped.
Before I knew it, the destination island was in sight.
By the time we reached Yanagi's villa, the sky had already collapsed. The wind grew stronger, and the sound of the waves felt strangely close.
"...Was the weather forecast like this?"
No one replied to the words someone spoke.
The rain intensified rapidly after that, to the point where we hesitated to even step outside. Naturally, it didn't look like we could get the boat out either.
After staring at the sky beyond the window for a while, he turned around as if switching gears.
Well. But they say it'll stop eventually.
No one denied Fuji's nonchalant remark. In fact, at that point, everyone thought that's how it would be.
At the place we came to for a vacation, our plans just went a little awry.
Surely, that was all it was.
