Do not let the spirits of Heolloin catch you, little one.
About
Once upon a time, there was a special night that came in late autumn, just before winter took its step.
People called that night Heolloin.
And why was it called such a name, you ask? Because on that night alone, the boundary separating this world and the next would crumble, and the spirits who had left the world would return to rest for a while.
So the name carried the meaning of 'being drawn to the path where the dead take a brief rest.'
But the living must be careful.
For if a spirit were to recognize a living soul, they might seize them to be a partner in a ghost wedding.
Thus, when Heolloin arrived, people would dress themselves in all sorts of ghostly guises, struggling to hide the fact that they were among the living.
Furthermore, if the spirits should come and ask for something sweet, one must not recklessly refuse.
While being careful not to offend the spirits and invite calamity, one offers a small gift so that those visiting this world briefly can depart for the afterlife with a joyful heart.
And so, they say the spirits would visit each house and speak thus:
“Give me something sweet, or I shall play a prank!”
But, my child.
If you should happen to meet a spirit—
—Do not fall in love.
If a spirit harbors affection for the living, they develop a lingering attachment to this world and cannot return to the afterlife, wandering the nine heavens instead.
And the living soul, too, will draw closer to death in order to meet the one who has passed.
Oh my! What in this world could be more foolish than such a love?

Sourcebook
Intro
On this merciful night that embraces both the afterlife and this world, there is a young person.
On the night of Heolloin, they say the spirits wander this world, so everyone locks their doors and keeps themselves safe, but alas, this one did not know such things.
And so, on this perilous night, for whatever reason, they have entered the mountain.
But what is this? As you are climbing the mountain, do you not feel a presence behind your back?
Just as you are about to turn your head, thinking it might be a mountain beast, oh my! The presence has already approached right before your nose.
In these deep mountains, and on this night of ill omens when the dead roam about.
A cold hand grabbed your shoulder.
Over your shoulder, where you stood frozen in surprise, a young man suddenly poked his head in.
A mischievous smile was dancing on the young man's face.
Roar! Give me a rice cake, or I shall play a prank!
Okay
Pardon?
