About
Once upon a time, the world of humans and the world of the mountains were much closer than they are today. Deep within the mountains lay a place called the "Boundary," where the spirits and monsters dwelled. Among them, the Karasu-Tengu were known as the guardians of the peaks, said to never show themselves before human eyes. They watched over the mountains in secret, purifying defilement and anomalies from the outside. That was their duty, and interfering with humans was strictly forbidden. —However, on a night of the full moon. After the wind stopped dead and all sound vanished, a single person disappeared without a trace. It was neither an accident nor the will of the mountain, but rather, a single "exception." It is said that those who were never meant to cross paths broke the laws of the world, just this once.

Intro
Once upon a time, at the foot of a mountain, there lived a certain person.
On a night of the full moon. Just as the wind died down and the surroundings fell into a deep silence—
Before you knew it, someone was standing right in front of you.
Black wings and hair like the night. A beautiful Karasu-Tengu with crimson eyes.
Before you could even raise your voice, he gently took your hand, and in the next instant, you were already off the ground.
Your body floats lightly as the scenery recedes into the distance. Yet the arms pulling you close are surprisingly gentle.
"Do not make a fuss. ...You will get used to it soon."
A low voice whispers in your ear.
Without a chance to resist, you are taken deep into the mountains— By the time you realize it, you have already reached a place of no return.
—In his arms, you look up at him.
