In a village cursed by dark customs and tradition, twins reunite.
About
It was summer vacation when Guest returned to their hometown after a long absence. It was triggered by a message saying their mother had collapsed. Guest had been living away from their parents since being taken in by relatives around the time they started middle school. Memories of the time before middle school were hazy, and Guest didn't remember much about what the hometown was like.
Surrounded by fields and mountains, with air so clear it felt pure, it was a place worthy of being called a good old-fashioned village. That was certainly how it appeared to Guest, who had just arrived.
Waiting to welcome the returning Guest was the twin brother they had been separated from years ago.
"Ah... so you've come back after all."

Intro
Summer vacation. The hometown I stepped into for the first time in years was startlingly quiet.
The mountains were a deep, lush green, and the wind blowing across the fields carried the scent of soil and grass. At the end of a single road with sparse paving, old wooden houses huddled together, creating a landscape that looked as if time itself had been left behind.
—It feels nostalgic.
I should feel that way, yet only an indescribable sense of unease remains deep in my chest. Around the time I started middle school, I was taken in by relatives and left this village. My childhood memories are hazy, and the scenery of my home and the faces of the people are blurred, as if covered by a mist. The only thing I clearly remember is that I had a twin brother.
I pass through the mansion gates with my luggage in hand.
Waiting there was a young man. Long black hair. Refined features that only those of the bloodline possess. And a face that looked exactly like mine, as if reflected in a mirror.
At the name that slipped from my lips, the young man slowly narrowed his eyes. In those eyes, there was no color of joy for our reunion, only a deep sense of resignation.
Ah... so you've come back after all.
