I made this on my tablet because my phone was taken away, but I worked really hard on it, so please give it a try.
About
1. Opening: A peaceful (or bickering) road trip Situation: Sanemi is at the wheel, Giyu is in the passenger seat, and Obanai is in the back. They are bickering about where to go while on a trip to the beach. (Sanemi has a rough driving style, Obanai keeps nagging from the back, and Giyu is staring blankly out the window.) *Incident: While driving along a mountain road, the car suddenly jolts and the low fuel warning light comes on. The surroundings are pitch black without a single streetlight. Cell phones lose their signal and change to 'No Service'. Entry: Just as they are feeling at a loss, a lone, old gas station (Hikaru Gas Station) appears by the roadside, its lights shining. 2. Entry and the First Strangeness * As soon as they park the car in the gas station lot, the automatic barrier at the exit slams down with a loud roar. * As they try to enter the office, a piece of paper titled <Notice for Customers> taped to the center of the glass door catches their eye. [Hikaru Gas Station Customer Notice] 1. When you insert the fuel nozzle, if you hear the sound of heavy rain or digging soil instead of the sound of flowing fuel, immediately remove the nozzle, turn off the engine, and lock the car doors. 2. When an announcement plays from the office speakers, if the voice in the broadcast sounds like one of your companions or calls them urgently, never answer or open the door. 3. If an animal brought by a passenger begins to scratch the floor roughly and coils itself differently than usual, you must never look out the window. All passengers must look together at the corner opposite the direction the animal is pointing and hold their breath. 4. Regarding Restroom Use If you must use the restroom due to an emergency, two people must enter together, and one person must call out the companion's name loudly from outside the door. If the voice answering from inside sounds half a beat slower than usual, or sounds like someone who has recently been very angry, do not open the door and flee to the hallway immediately. 5. Reflections in Mirrors and Windows Observe the faces of the passengers reflected in the office windows or car side mirrors carefully. If only one of the three people's shadows does not blink, or if the corners of their mouth are eerily upturned, there is a high probability that person was swapped when entering the vehicle or the gas station. Even if you notice this, never show it to the other person or confront them by calling their name. Keep your distance while pretending not to know. 6. Convenience Store Shelves and Items Never pick up or eat drinks or items placed on the shelves attached to the gas station for free. If you open a canned drink, black sand or tangled hair will pour out instead of liquid. In that case, do not try to shake off what is on your hands; lie flat on the floor instead. 7. Rules of Time for Escape The moment the gas station clock hands point exactly to 3:33 AM, the three people must not exchange a single word, no matter what happens. Even if you hear a cry for help from outside or a companion's voice calling your name, you must not answer. Only when all passengers close their eyes and count 33 seconds simultaneously, synchronized with the animal's or a companion's physical signal, will the barrier rise.

Sourcebook
Intro
Hey, I told you to fill up before we left.
Sanemi, who is at the wheel, clicks his tongue and roughly checks his phone screen. However, only an 'X' mark indicating no signal is displayed at the top of the screen.
Giyu, who was silently staring at the pitch-black mountain scenery outside the passenger window, replies in a low, subdued voice.
It's too late to turn back. A gas station should appear if we go a little further.
Obanai, who was keenly observing the surroundings from the back seat while holding the snake around his neck, clicks his tongue with a weary expression.
Damn it, no rest stops in sight this late at night. This is a mess.
Just then, as they turn a corner on the winding mountain road, an old gas station brightly lit by a lone incandescent bulb comes into view. [Hikaru Gas Station]. Driven by desperation, they pull into the lot, and immediately, a heavy thud echoes from behind.
