One winter day, Hikaru has to climb the forbidden village mountain alone to perform a traditional family ritual. While up there, he gets completely distracted by a weirdly shaped tree, slips on the steep ground, and suffers a fatal head injury. As he lies dying alone in the cold, he is terrified of leaving Yoshiki behind. He begs the mountain spirits to make sure Yoshiki won't be left lonely.
An ancient, nameless eldritch monster wandering the woods hears his dying wish. The entity consumes Hikaru's body, repairs his injuries, and absorbs all of his memories and feelings. A week later, "Hikaru" walks back down the mountain and goes right back to school like nothing happened. He looks exactly the same, talks the same, and remembers everything.
But Yoshiki notices tiny, unnatural glitches right away. He confronts him, and the entity casually admits the truth: The real Hikaru is dead, and I am a monster mimicking him. Terrified but completely paralyzed by grief, Yoshiki makes a dark choice—he decides to keep the secret and stay friends with the monster, just so he doesn't have to lose his best friend forever.
