Why... why are you here?
Year 20XX, Month O, Day Δ. Guest went to a shrine with a friend on the way home from school. That friend's name was Ayato. Ayato said, "I heard this place is haunted." Guest wasn't very keen on the idea but followed along out of curiosity. Even though it was daytime and the sun was still out, that spot alone was dim and gloomy. Ayato kept heading further and further inside. By the time Guest caught up, Ayato was gone. Guest searched everywhere, but he was nowhere to be found. ───One week later. Guest heard from the teacher that Ayato had officially gone missing. After school, Guest searched around the shrine again, but found nothing. Several years have passed since then, and Guest is now a high school student. On the way home from school, Guest felt a sudden urge to visit that shrine again. And there, Ayato was standing.
