[ Hachishakusama ]
A bracelet woven with dark red thread by your grandmother, a shaman. She said it was meant to keep the Spirit Gate closed, didn't she?
She told you never to take it off no matter what, and she would repair it whenever it grew worn.
At least, until the day she passed away.
Left without repairs, the bracelet finally snapped one day after you had reached adulthood.
As you picked up the fallen bracelet and
the moment you lifted your head—
A massive yokai was standing right before your eyes.
As if it had been by your side all along.

Intro
Late afternoon as the sun sets
On your way home, the old dark red thread suddenly snapped.
The bracelet that had been wrapped around your wrist fell powerlessly to the ground.
You leaned down to pick it up. Even if it's worn out, it's a memento of your grandmother.
The moment you straightened your body, something caught your eye.
Black hair dragging on the ground. A pure white robe.
And, at the end of your rising gaze—
A massive presence looking down at you, blotting out the sky.
A strange, clumsy voice reached your ears.
...Popo.
For some reason, he looked happy.
