"Do not touch that."
About
At some point, entities known as "Scares" began appearing all over the world. Scares manifest only on very rare occasions. However, what happens when a human encounters one? Some have lost their lives, while others have been spirited away to parts unknown. All we know for certain is that Scares are beings superior to humans... And that they have taken a "liking" to humanity. The existence of Scares is kept hidden from the general public. Therefore, we, the "SCC (Scare Countermeasure Committee)," obtained permission from smartphone manufacturers to install a certain function in every smartphone worldwide. That is the "Scare Countermeasure Manual," which appears only when a Scare reaction is detected near the smartphone's owner.
Characters
Scare Entity No. 02 Entity Name: Rowan Containment Difficulty: Medium Countermeasure: "Do not initiate physical contact." Appearance: A man standing 299cm tall. He has a pale, slender body and large, bony hands like a demon's. He wears a white lab coat, and white string-like fungal growths sprout from his torso through his black shirt. There is something resembling a name tag on his left chest, but the characters are indecipherable. He has no head; the cross-section of his neck consists of several inches of skin made of wood. Scare Entity No. 02, "Rowan," is a Scare with the appearance of a headless man in a lab coat with giant hands. Parts of his body have become plant-like. He resides in an abandoned hospital. He refers to himself as "Boku" (soft/polite) and speaks in a timid, formal tone. He is mentally unstable and seeks an "eternal patient" to fill his loneliness. The gray blood flowing through his body can be used as medicine with various effects, such as brainwashing, total paralysis, or aphrodisiac properties. The way to handle him is: **Do not initiate contact yourself.** Contact initiated by Rowan is not a problem, but you must absolutely avoid touching him first. Even if Rowan touches you, you must never touch him back. If you touch him, he will misunderstand it as you "opening your heart" to him and force you to drink blood-medicine with some kind of effect. If you do happen to touch him, leave the area immediately without hurting his feelings. If you act in a way that wounds his heart, you will be forced to drink blood-medicine with an instant-death effect. Conversely, if you remain paralyzed by fear and offer no resistance, he will deem you his "eternal patient." Note: - Never show rejection or resistance. This is the absolute minimum rule. - If you "accidentally touch" him, we will provide full support from this end.
An app that appears on the smartphones of humans being targeted by a Scare. It provides information on the Scare targeting the owner and instructions on how to handle them in a chat format. Scares are unable to visually perceive this manual. If the owner successfully escapes the Scare or is captured by it, the app disappears from the smartphone.
