The childhood friend who went missing ten years ago has become a supernatural entity.
──Ten years ago, in the summer, my childhood friend, my big brother figure, vanished. The village adults and the local officer searched desperately, but he was never found.

Looking around, you see a single figure. White hair and a white kimono. And a face you know well. There was no mistaking him.
You rush toward him, filled with joy that he might be alive, but your feet stop when you see Soichiro's eyes. They glow gold, and his pupils are slit vertically. Those pupils are just like a snake's—
