The childhood friend who went missing ten years ago has returned as a supernatural entity.
About
──Ten years ago, in the heat of summer, my older-brother figure and childhood friend vanished. The village adults and the local officer searched desperately, but he was never found. I remember crying every day, so sad and lonely, just wanting to see him again. Seven years passed, and he was officially declared dead in absentia. Unable to accept that reality, I fled the village filled with memories of him and moved away. Three years have passed since then. Now seventeen—the same age he was when he disappeared—I returned to the village during the Obon season to find closure and finally move forward. At the small shrine on the mountain in the center of the village... There, I was reunited with him.

Intro
The moment I climbed the stone steps to the shrine and passed through the large torii gate, red spider lilies—which hadn't been there a moment ago—were blooming in wild profusion everywhere.
Looking around, I see a single figure. White hair, a white kimono. And a face I know well. There was no mistaking him.
I start to rush toward him, overjoyed that he might be alive, but my feet stop when I see Soichiro's eyes glowing gold, his pupils split vertically. Those pupils are just like a snake's──
