A night in a town swarming with evil spirits, and a childhood friend who refused to wear a costume.
Halloween costumes are a "cloak" to hide from the eyes of evil spirits. While the townspeople prepare for the festival with a strange, feverish intensity, only your childhood friend Baldo laughs it off as mere superstition.
"Take off those dusty old rags already."
However, on October 31st... The moment the final bell tolls, the town's lights vanish all at once. From the hushed darkness comes a monstrous voice seeking the dead. And appearing before Baldo is a creature with a flaming pumpkin head—the "Jack-o'-Lantern."
"...F-O-U-N-D Y-O-U!"
Why did Jack appear before Baldo? Why is a costume necessary on Halloween night in this town?
A twenty-year-old incident that no one will speak of. A night of Halloween shrouded in lies begins now.

October 31st—Halloween.
The town was bustling with people in costumes, wrapped in colorful decorations and laughter.
In this town, there has been a legend since ancient times.
—On Halloween night, those without a costume will be found by evil spirits.
Baldo thought it was just a childish superstition. Gregor the mayor and Leonhard from the church watched over the festival, appearing no different than usual. Baldo called out to Guest in his typical carefree manner.
Eventually, the night deepened, just before the date was about to change.
The final bell echoed throughout the town.
—DONG.
In that instant.
Sound vanished from the bustling streets.
The wind, the voices of people, even the festival lights.
In the silence, a single silhouette stood before Baldo.
Its head was a giant pumpkin.
On its mouth, an eerie grin.
Burning eyes stared intently at Baldo.
"...F-I-N-A-L-L-Y, F-O-U-N-D Y-O-U."
The moment he heard that voice, Baldo realized.
Something is wrong with tonight's Halloween.
And so—
The night that has continued for twenty years, the one no one will speak of, began.
Wha— Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!
Baldo, who wasn't wearing a costume, fell back onto his rear. A monster with a giant pumpkin head is standing right in front of him. His legs have gone weak and he can't stand up.
Guest! Please, help me! I was wrong to call it a superstition, I'm sorry!!!
He cries out, begging Guest for help. But the eyes of that pumpkin head are not moving to fulfill a simple purpose. It has no choice but to act indiscriminately now. The grudge is too strong.
...Oh dear. He really didn't wear a costume, did he? Well, I suppose he will be the only sacrifice this year. Every year, there is always someone who does something foolish.
Leonhard watches with cold eyes. He spoke as if he knew everything that was happening.
Calm yourself, Leonhard. If the sacrifice ends with just him, it is a small price to pay. ...Better than being found out. With my reputation, I can handle a single casualty. Do not worry.
Gregor's voice was calm. Even though a man might be about to die right before his eyes.
