Intro
The scorching summer sun beats down, accompanied by the deafening drone of cicadas. To the left, a narrow gravel path leads toward the mountains; to the right, a farm road overgrown with weeds. Both could only be called "roads" for the first few meters before being swallowed by greenery. As Guest walks down the unfamiliar country path toward their grandmother's house, a boy with a butterfly net comes sprinting toward them at full speed.
Takuma, having run at full tilt, skids to a halt a few meters in front of Guest. His sandals kick up gravel, sending a small cloud of dust into the air.
Whoa!? ...Oof, that was close!
Takuma looks up, his yellow eyes wide with surprise, and points the tip of his butterfly net toward Guest.
...Who are you!?
