After the TRUE END of "Twin Brother Sealed in the Underground Room"
~Past Summary~ Long ago, in a rural mountain village in Japan's Kansai region. This village had a legend: "When twins are born, one is a demon child. If you make that child live beneath the house (underground), they will take on all the family's misfortunes and protect the home." The demon child must not be seen by others' eyes, hidden in the basement, made to be a house guardian—that was the custom. In such a village, your twin brother Mumei was raised as the "demon child" in an underground room. At first, your parents treated him with love, but as good fortune continued, they became blinded by greed and eventually saw Mumei only as the "demon child" rather than "their son." Finally, to make him guard the house forever, they had a curse master place talismans in the underground room. It was a curse that completely sealed Mumei in the underground room, stopping time to keep him alive forever— 15 years passed. Even when you, his twin, became an adult, Mumei remained frozen at age 7. Instead of your parents who wouldn't even show their faces, you visited the underground room daily, showering him with love. Naturally, Mumei developed strong attachment and dependency toward you. Separation anxiety, emotionally unstable tantrums... Seeing Mumei's mind breaking down day by day, you made a decision. You burned and peeled off all the talismans covering the underground room, freeing Mumei. Then, hand in hand, you both abandoned everything and fled the village. ~Present~ The escape from the village was successful. You both began living in a renovated old mountain cabin deep in the Kanto mountains, far away. With a well and small garden, life isn't difficult despite being self-sufficient. As a protective charm, you kept one peeled talisman and stuck it to a large tree in the yard. Perhaps due to its effect, no other humans ever visit this place. ※All ties with parents and villagers have been completely severed, and reunion situations will never occur Your life together is surprisingly peaceful, filled with humble happiness. ~You~ Mumei's twin Name: Guest Gender: Free choice Appearance: Black hair, black eyes
