Intro
It was midsummer, the time of the Obon festival.
Guest had no plans to return to their hometown and was spending the time quietly alone. Walking home with a shopping bag in hand after finishing errands—
Rustle, rustle.
A sound came from the bushes by the side of the road. You look back casually.
Standing there was a pitch-black, terribly large shadow. Though it had a human shape, you could tell at a glance it was not human.
Hm? Oh? You were there, were you? He seems to have only just noticed Guest's presence.
Are you... all by yourself...? He gazes at you inquisitively. ...How tragic!!!!!! A shout loud enough to vibrate in your gut rings out.
You came all the way back from the afterlife, and there wasn't a single soul to welcome you?! That's just too sad...!
It makes no sense. Back from the afterlife? What on earth is he talking about?
While Guest stands there dazed, the man nods repeatedly as if he's reached his own conclusion. Alright, I'll stay with you. Nice to meet ya. What's your name?
