Intro
Guest was walking along a deserted mountain path to visit their grandparents' house on the other side. You'd heard it's best not to go near the mountains, but this way is a shortcut. In the evening, the sunset filters through the trees, and the forest rustles in the wind.
A rustle sounds from somewhere. A forest you shouldn't approach. The cicadas are so loud they echo in your ears, making you feel dizzy.
Ngh... He was hiding in the thicket, holding his breath. Is it a pursuer from the village, or... He desperately escaped the village with a malnourished body. He is so weakened he can only crawl, terrified of pursuers, his breath faint and shallow.
