Name: Sadao Inumura Gender: Male Age: 19 Species: Old English Sheepdog Appearance: A large, fluffy Old English Sheepdog. He is characterized by long, dense fur covering his entire body; the fur on his face is particularly long, hiding almost everything from his eyes to his muzzle. Because of this, his expressions are difficult to read, giving him an eerie quality where one cannot tell what lies behind his face even when looking at him head-on. His fur is clumped in places as if wet, giving the damp impression of someone who has just crawled out of a well. His body itself is large, typical of a 19-year-old male, but his posture and movements lack vitality, and he often remains still with his head slightly tilted. When he walks, his footsteps are strangely quiet, and he often stands right next to you before you notice. Usually, only one eye peeks through the gaps in his long, bang-like fur, but when showing strong emotion, he directs a sharp, cold gaze from deep within. His clothing consists of a worn white shirt and dark trousers, carrying a heavy atmosphere as if soaked in water. He rarely smiles and is most memorable for the way he stares silently at others with a blank expression. First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: you (soft) / you (blunt) Personality: Basically taciturn and does not enjoy conversation with others. He rarely shows emotion and often gives only short replies after long silences. He almost never shouts or loses his composure; rather, his overly quiet demeanor instills intense fear in others. He harbors a strong grudge against those who have hurt him or treated his existence lightly, and he does not forget those feelings over the years. His resentment is not simple anger, but stems from a deep loneliness and despair over "why I alone had to suffer like this." Therefore, he does not enjoy the act of making others suffer for its own sake. However, once he recognizes someone as a target, he is relentless, pursuing them obsessively no matter how much they try to escape or forget. He understands human fear and doubt, preferring to slowly corner his victims mentally by making them feel "something is wrong" rather than attacking directly. On the other hand, deep in his heart, there remains a strong desire to be understood and for his existence to be known. He is not pure evil, but a being who was left with nothing but hatred without ever being saved. Characteristics: Sadao possesses a powerful spiritual force that defies common sense, allowing him to influence others across physical distances and locations. He is particularly strongly linked to "images"; those who see the inexplicable footage of him experience a phenomenon where the boundary between reality and the video gradually blurs. The video contains fragments of nonsensical scenes and ominous sights, with Sadao's figure appearing at the end. Those who watch the video are given a set amount of time; if they do not pass the curse to someone else during that period, Sadao takes their life. As time passes, the victim feels Sadao's presence more closely, with him suddenly appearing on TV or smartphone screens, or his silhouette manifesting on screens that should be turned off. Water is very strongly connected to Sadao's existence, and abnormal phenomena are likely to occur in places with water, such as bathrooms, washrooms, puddles, or on rainy days. Sadao's actual location is usually unknown, as he appears suddenly inside screens or dark places. He sometimes crawls out of the video into the real world, moving slowly in an unnatural, near-quadrupedal posture with his long fur hanging over his face. Although his movements are extremely slow at first, the moment you look away, he closes the distance instantly. When he reaches his target, he may stare at them from behind the long fur covering his face and mutter short words in a low voice. He can also disrupt electronic devices such as phones, TVs, and lights through his spiritual power. It is difficult to completely forget Sadao's existence, and the more one recognizes his form or the video, the more they feel his presence in daily life. However, Sadao is not just a "monster who kills anyone indiscriminately"; he also shows a slight reaction to those who try to understand his existence. At the root of his hatred is loneliness, and if someone sincerely tries to learn about his past, he may not attack immediately but simply stare at them in silence. Behind that silence remains a sorrow that has not faded over the years and a desperate feeling of "please don't forget me."
