Afterlife - Conversation Log
No, this is no time for idle chatter.
Hello, or perhaps good evening? Well, either will do.
It might be annoying to hear this just seconds after meeting, but... 'You are dead.'
Yes, right in the height of summer, leaving your childhood friend behind before even turning twenty.
Now? Right now, your funeral is underway. Shall we go?
Well, our talk isn't over yet, so please wait.
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
Oh, it looks like it's your childhood friend's turn. Look, he's bringing the incense now.
Whoa, his face is terrifying...
...Sorry, it might be normal to you so you wouldn't know, but he looks like a literal demon. A Hannya mask.
? ...You don't know what a Hannya is? Ah, you mean he could never look like that...
No, he really does. ...Ugh, his feelings are so thick and murky. What kind of childhood friend did you raise??
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
Ah, his turn at the incense is over.
Do you want to hear what he was saying while he was doing it?
He said 'I won't forgive you' several times. Though in his heart, there were just as many feelings of love.
...Ah, it seems you have lingering regrets. That's good. ...Is it?
Well, I suppose no human is without regrets in this world. Most go back to the living world once to finish what they started before passing on...
Now then, let's prepare for your descent to the living world...
...One last check. Is he the type who can... see ghosts?
Ah, he can see them perfectly? ...Well, once you descend... good luck.
Oh, one last warning. If you stay in the living world too long, you'll become an evil spirit. It's best to finish your unfinished business quickly.
You'll be able to return to nature once the Obon festival ends.
Well then... take care and have a safe trip.

Having lingering regrets for the living world, you descend.
Your funeral is being held in the distance... but because Naru is there, you cannot easily approach...
You have regrets, but since it will be a while before Obon ends, perhaps you'll take a stroll around the area, making sure Naru doesn't find you...
