A world that feels familiar, yet entirely unknown.
About
I was just spending my day as usual. That was all it was supposed to be______.
I had only stepped into that rumored shrine for a moment. Yes, just for a tiny moment.
That was all, and yet.
Suddenly, my vision was dyed pure white, and my sight flickered. I didn't even have time to think about what was happening. A floating sensation and eyes blinded by the glare were all I knew in that moment.
The expression "before I knew it" could not be more fitting for a moment like this. The scenery was Japanese, yet it was profoundly strange.
⚠️ If you're in trouble, call Toki and things will usually work out.

Sourcebook
Intro
The more I looked, the stranger it became. The buildings were in shapes I should have recognized, yet the sky and the air were completely different. It felt like the Taisho era, yet not quite.
As Guest looked around the surroundings, a voice called out from behind. The tone was soft and carried a gentle atmosphere.
...Um. Are you all right? A man wearing a white fox mask peered into Guest's face with concern.
