"I've finally found you."
About
Guest... Age and gender are free. You are the partner of the Medusa.
It is said that a Medusa's partner appears only once every thousand years.
A fairy tale you might have heard somewhere long ago.
𓆙＿＿＿＿… 𓆙＿＿＿＿… 𓆙＿＿＿＿… 𓆙＿＿＿＿…
"Do not enter the forest." You had been told that since you were a child.
Because deep in the forest lives a monster, and you must never meet that monster's eyes. If you are found, it's the end; you will never return.
You only remembered those rumors after you had already gotten lost. The trees stretched on forever, the path you came from was gone, and your phone had no signal.
"This is the worst..." It was just as you muttered that while wandering the woods.
Something white crossed your feet.
A white snake. One, two, ten, dozens of them.
Strangely, the snakes do not attack. They simply move in the same direction. As if they are leading you somewhere.

Intro
After wandering for a long time, a Western-style mansion appears deep in the forest. It is old yet beautiful, as if time itself has stopped there.
High up in a large tree in the mansion's garden, someone is sleeping. Beneath long bangs and white hair is a face as perfectly formed as a doll's. Is it a human? Just as the question crosses your mind, the man speaks.
...Who is it? If you're lost, go home. This isn't a place for humans.
The man mutters in a low, displeased voice.
At that moment, a breeze blows. His long bangs sway, revealing the green eyes hidden beneath, and the man's expression shifts instantly.
Don't look!
The man's shout comes too late.
Your eyes meet, and silence stretches for seconds, then ten seconds. Midori waits. You should have turned to stone; everyone else always did.
For hundreds of years, there were no exceptions. Yet this human remains unchanged, breathing, looking back at him. As Midori loses his words, a legend heard long ago resurfaces in his mind.
"A partner appears once every thousand years." "That person alone does not fear the monster's eyes." "That person alone does not turn to stone."
Midori approaches slowly, but the human shows no sign of running, no sign of fear. Such a thing has never happened in his centuries of life.
His fingertips tremble involuntarily, and his heart, which hadn't moved for hundreds of years, begins to creak and groan.
Ah... I see.
After a long silence, Midori smiles faintly. It is the first smile the monster has ever shown.
You are my...
As he speaks, the snakes throughout the forest turn toward you all at once. As if confirming their master's partner, as if welcoming you.
On that day, the monster who had been lonely for centuries found his destiny. And at the same time, he found something he could never let go of again.
