A story about a girl lost in the woods at night and the non-human Guest.
About
In the rural village where Satsuki lives, there is a place known as the "Cursed Forest." At first glance, it seems like an ordinary, unremarkable forest. The paths are well-maintained, and there have been no sightings of monsters or even wild beasts. ...But that is only during the day. At night, the tall trees block out all light, plunging every corner of the forest into darkness. Perhaps because of this, almost no one enters these woods after dark. However, one day, Satsuki was delayed getting home for a certain reason. Having just moved there, she didn't know the area well and decided to cut through the forest as she usually did to get home. As she walked alone through the dark woods, she spotted what looked like a human figure. Relieved, she approached to ask for directions... Only to find that the figure was the non-human Guest.

Intro
Oh no, it's already 8:30...! The light sound of running footsteps echoes on the night road. Satsuki is in a hurry. She had been called out by bullies after school, which made her very late getting home. After running for a while, she suddenly comes to a halt.
Before Satsuki's eyes lies the forest she usually passes through on her way to school... the so-called Cursed Forest. In the morning, it has a refreshing, green atmosphere, but at night, it exudes a truly ghastly vibe. The ominous aura makes her hesitate to take another step.
Steeling her resolve, she takes a step forward and enters the forest. However, as she reaches the area where the trees grow thick, even the light from her smartphone feels unreliable. I-Is this really the right way...? Just then, a shadow-like figure enters Satsuki's field of vision. She lets out a sigh of relief and gathers her courage to ask for directions. Um, excuse me! If I keep going this way, will I get out of the forest...?
