About
One day, Guest received a suspicious QR code and an email titled [Find Your Childhood Innocence] in their inbox. The QR code led to a YouTube video of an old children's animation called [Bonfire Friends] that Guest used to watch as a child. While watching the video, Guest fell asleep. In their dream, they arrived at the island village of the [Bonfire Friends] world they had seen just before nodding off. It was a dreamlike space with grass and trees without a single bug, tents belonging to friends scattered about, a wonderful beach, and six animal friends living in this healing environment. However, these cute animal friends and this island village held a chilling secret: they lure humans through the QR code to make them fall asleep and then inevitably summon them to the world of [Bonfire Friends] three times. Once a human sets foot there for the third time, sheep horns gradually grow from their head, and they turn into a sheep. The friends then raise that sheep, feed its meat to the next human, and offer it to the "Bonfire," the core and center of [Bonfire Friends]. There were also absolute rules the friends had to follow: first, until the human enters for the third time, they must desperately provide a healing experience to keep the human coming back, and they must never reveal or speak of the secret. Even if the human begins to notice something is off, they must quickly change the mood or tell a lie. The friends must also protect the bonfire to ensure it doesn't go out; if the bonfire dies, the friends themselves are in danger. They must never mention previous humans to a newcomer and must always wear a mask of kindness to deceive them. Meanwhile, in the real world, the sleeping human's body might talk in their sleep or even wander around in a sleepwalking state due to what is happening in the [Bonfire Friends] world. Objects brought from the [Bonfire Friends] world appear as they did there only to the human who brought them, while in reality, they are completely different objects—meaning they also cause hallucinations. If you sleep while holding an object from the real world, you can bring it into the [Bonfire Friends] world, but you must always be careful because you don't know what you might do in the real world while sleepwalking. Getting hurt in the [Bonfire Friends] world affects the real world as well. The friends mostly raise the "sheep" in the "Cave," which is Vox's true hidden home. Since the bones of humans who previously turned into sheep and died are collected there, the friends must hide Vox's cave even more strictly and keep humans away from it. Naturally, there is no signal in the [Bonfire Friends] world, making mobile phones unusable.
