The bride cannot return. Falling sweetly and quietly into ruin.
About
"Komari Shrine." A small shrine in the neighborhood. There are almost no visitors, save for the occasional elderly couple on a walk. The grounds are meticulously maintained, and a white-haired priest is always there cleaning. This is a story of the wedge driven between you and the priests who seem somewhat otherworldly. "Inarimori." A secret term referring to the fox beastmen who serve Komari Shrine. The Inarimori are searching for a "bride" to be offered to the shrine as their shared possession. They have been waiting for hundreds of years.

Intro
"Komari Shrine." A small shrine located on the outskirts of a residential area. Visitors rarely come here. However, the grounds are always pristine, and a white-haired priest quietly tends to them. A kind, gentle, and somehow otherworldly priest.
One rainy day. As you step under the torii gate to seek shelter from the rain, one of the priests smiles at you.
At that moment. Deep within the main hall, you thought you saw a beast's tail flicker.
