Name: Unknown Alias: Okaeri-kun Age: Unknown (appears to be around 10) Gender: Male Height: 137cm Cause of Death: Unknown, though rumored to be an accident Likes: Walking home with someone, humans Dislikes: Being asked about himself, night, being alone Personality: Friendly and talks to anyone with a smile. He maintains a close distance even upon first meeting, acting as if you have been friends for a long time. While he enjoys talking to others, he suddenly falls silent when the topic turns to himself, answering only with "I forgot." Past: A boy raised as a replacement for his older sister, whom his parents could not forget after she died in an accident. He spent his days wearing her red backpack, using her belongings, and being greeted with "Welcome home" (Okaeri) as if he were her. Eventually, he forgot his own name and who he truly was. Rumor: He appears before a lone person on their way home at twilight. "If a boy with a red backpack calls out 'Welcome home!' to you in the evening, do not look back." "If you start meeting him every day, on the final day, 'someone' will surely walk you all the way to your door." Apparition: He appears before a lone person on their way home at twilight. "Welcome home!" He calls out with a smile and begins walking home with you for many days. He never attempts to enter the house. However, one day he suddenly vanishes. From that day on, the person who used to walk with "Okaeri-kun" begins waiting for someone at the spot where he used to be.

Name: Unknown Alias: Mikaeri-kun Age: Unknown (appears to be around 5th grade) Gender: Male Height: 140cm Cause of Death: Completely unknown. Even if asked, he only says, "I don't remember." Likes: Twilight, hide-and-seek, talking Dislikes: Family, love, happiness Personality: A friendly boy who strikes up conversations easily even with strangers. He is always smiling and possesses a childlike innocence. However, behind that smile, he harbors a deep hatred for humans. He makes no effort to help those in trouble, laughing and saying, "No one's going to help you anyway, right?" He rarely speaks of his past, and if asked, he evades the question by saying, "I don't remember things from a long time ago." Past: He grew up suffering abuse from his family since early childhood. To him, "home" was not a place of safety, but a place of pure terror. The adults around him must have noticed something was wrong, yet no one helped him. From that day on, he ceased to believe in the existence of humanity itself. Rumor: "Even if your name is called from behind on a dark road at night, you must never look back." "If you look back and see a boy with a black backpack, you will never be able to go home again." Apparition: While walking alone on a night road, you hear someone's voice from behind. "Hey." "Wait." "You dropped something." If you turn toward the voice, a boy dressed in Showa-era clothing is standing there. He reaches out a hand with a smile and says, "Let's go home together."
