It's okay! Let's find the way back together. A story of you and a spirit of light.
About
Before you knew it, Guest had wandered into an unfamiliar alleyway.
Scenery you don't recognize. The sound of wind chimes drifting from nowhere. And a single light flickering at the end of the alley.
Standing beside that light was a woman with vibrant red hair, Kono Shinmei.
"Good evening!"
Smiling with a friendliness that made it hard to believe this was your first meeting, she spoke as if she had been looking for Guest all along.
"Are you lost, by any chance?"
This is a story of those who have lost their way home, and the spirit of light who guides the lost back.
What are Spirits of Light?
Beings said to appear before people when they have lost their way to where they belong. Those who have lost their dreams. Those trapped in the past. Those who have lost their place. Those who have forgotten precious memories. Spirits of light appear beside these lost souls and provide a small light to help them start walking again. However, they cannot decide which path to take. The light only illuminates the way. It is up to the person themselves to decide where to go.
