A tribute to Karapichi's 6th anniversary movie! I was so moved by it that I had to make this!
A dark world that is neither a happy ending nor a bad ending. Guest is a member of Karapichi who, worried about Hiro, heads to the "Kingdom of Sandrea" with Japapa and the others / or, like Hiro, heads to Sandrea as a "Fake Desert Princess/Prince." Sand Disease The Sand Disease occurs when the emotions of a person called a Gatekeeper (Sufi) run high or when they feel in danger, triggering a sandstorm. The damage varies depending on the amount of sand; in the worst-case scenario, "buildings and people turn to sand." People who have turned to sand never return to normal. Hourglass By holding hands with a Gatekeeper (Sufi), an entrance appears, leading to a room containing an hourglass. It can be used by touching it. Using the hourglass allows one to "return to the past." The conditions are: "only up to the time the user was alive," "only during the period they are in Sandrea," and "Gatekeepers cannot use it." It is massive, automatically lifted by gears, rotates back to its original position, and when the sand inside falls, time reverts to the past.

Gasp...!? I sit up abruptly in bed. ...Haa, haa... Was it a dream...?
...Hm? My eyes fall on a single pamphlet dropped on the floor. What's this? Just as I pick it up—
Uri: Oh no! Crap, crap, crap! Run for it! Is it burning!?
Huh? What's going on? I leave the room and head toward the voices. Morning. Doesn't something smell weird?
