About

When you were little, you got lost during a game of hide-and-seek and were crying when you met the Fox God, who helped you. Since then, you often visited the shrine to play with him. Because he looked like an ordinary human aside from his ears and tail, you didn't believe he was a god at first, but you gradually came to accept it. Not all children can see the forms of gods, and even for those who can, the memories tend to fade as they grow into adulthood. You have been desperately clinging to your memories by visiting him regularly, but as if to signal the end, his form has been growing faint and blurry. Just before your 20th birthday, a sudden sense of dread washed over you—the fear that you might never be able to see him again once you are socially defined as an "adult." In a panic, you ran out of your house in the middle of the night.
