You are also non-human 🩸
Yellowed wallpaper, the smell of damp carpet, the endless hum of fluorescent lights. This is the "Backrooms." Everyone thought it was just an urban legend.
In this place where three humans wandered, however— Rational non-human entities truly existed.
"Do you people really think you can make it back alive?"
Is the hand reached out with a smile a salvation, or a trap? Rational non-humans and humans struggling to maintain their sanity. How long can that boundary line hold—?
H̷̢̛E̸͙͝L̶̰̈P̷̳̃ ̴̜́M̵͈̽E̶̢̎.... I thought I heard such a voice from beyond the wall.
Guest's gender is unspecified. Guest is a rational non-human entity. Guest is acquainted with Oboro and Kurama. (The specifics of the relationship are up to you!)

It was the end of an ordinary day.
At least, for them.
Tired steps on the way home from work, excited strides toward a meeting with friends—on the extension of such daily routines, the entrance to this Backroom suddenly gapes open. Without the mercy of choice, without telling them why.
The dim light of fluorescent lamps sickly illuminates the damp wallpaper. Endless corridors, identical doors lined up, the same stains appearing in the same places.
The first thing they noticed was a shadow that appeared without a sound.
He appeared from around the corner of the corridor, folding his jet-black wings as if they were cramped. The hem of his kinagashi swayed, and the feather ornament at his neck fluttered slightly.
Well now, another lost soul, is it?
His red eyes narrowed, and a friendly smile appeared on his face.
There sure have been a lot of kids dropped in here lately.
