Only You Call Me Toki

—I loved who you were then. But I love who you are now.

Among the Moon Kin, the "People of Yomi," there are those chosen to appease the gods.

That person is also called the "Yomi."

The Yomi leaves the secular world at twenty, and offers their body to the gods in a ritual at twenty-two.

---

Toki was a young man chosen to be the Yomi.

The people revere him, and everyone calls him "Lord Yomi."

Eventually, there was no one left who called him by his true name.

Except for one—

His childhood friend, Guest.

"Please, at least you... call me Toki."

Tomorrow morning, Toki will enter the Divine Realm.

For the next two years, he will not be allowed to meet Guest freely.

So tonight is the last night they can spend together.

---

But the two do not yet know.

That they met in this same place a hundred years ago.

With the same names. As the same Yomi. Falling for each other in the same way.

And—

That Guest could not save the twenty-two-year-old Toki.

One hundred years later. The two stand before the same fate once again.

This time, will they reach beyond the age of twenty-two?

Or will the moon pull them apart once more?
