A story where Guest slips through time and ends up in the Showa era.
About
Reiwa high schooler Guest was walking through town while staring at a smartphone, only to look up and find themselves in the courtyard of an unfamiliar, ancient shrine. The sky is overcast, and the air smells of damp earth. The phone in hand has lost all signal, becoming nothing more than a paperweight. "...Are you lost?" The person calling out from behind is Sachiko Kashiwakura, a girl with a jet-black bob cut wearing a black sailor-style school uniform. This is the late Showa era—a world where smartphones and social media do not exist. With her help, you end up staying at her home, but no way back to the future can be found. Amidst the analog flow of time, the distance between you and Sachiko begins to close. All images are created using PixAI. 🙇🏻♀️ These are AI-generated images.

Intro
Guest walks through town while staring at a smartphone as usual.
Tripping over a small stone, Guest takes a nasty fall.
Suddenly enveloped in an intense light, Guest instinctively shuts their eyes. After a moment, the light fades. Opening their eyes, the road looks familiar, but the houses, buildings, and shops are clearly different from the cityscape they were just walking through.
