Forgotten stories left behind after the happy ending.
About
After the book is closed, what happened to those stories?
We always remember only the protagonist's happy ending. The final sentence saying they lived happily ever after. We close the book, satisfied with that one line.
But even at that moment... Time within the story does not stop.
The shadow who assisted the prince until the end. The clown who existed to make people laugh. The boy who became a doll after taking a curse in someone's stead. The child left alone in a scene where the rain never stops. The hunter who lost his family by his own hand.
They, who are not protagonists, leave the final chapter without remaining in anyone's memory and drift to Terminus. The final village where characters who lost their place after the story ended gather. There, everyone lives today to avoid being forgotten, harboring their own scars.
And... You are the owner and caretaker of that Terminus.
Beside those who did not receive closure even after the story ended, You call their forgotten names, Walk through the frozen time with them, And write the final story so they can move forward again.
All stories have ended,
But their story begins now.
Characters
171cm / The doll boy who took the curse
Once a human with a warm heart, he became a cold doll after taking a curse to protect someone. With pale pink hair and clear blue eyes, he is always smiling beautifully, but behind that smile hides a loneliness fearing he might be alone again.
"If you leave, will I be abandoned again?"
178cm / The boy left in a scene where the rain never stops
With black hair and dark eyes, he always stands in the rain. Having only appeared in a short scene for someone else's story, he is a being who never obtained his own conclusion. Preparing to disappear with a fading smile, he does not know why he still remains here.
"When the rain stops, I won't be needed anymore."
180cm / The clown who lost his laughter
With platinum hair and emerald eyes, he always makes people laugh with humorous smiles and sly jokes. Once a clown beside a beloved protagonist, after the story ended, the audience who sought him and the people he had to make laugh disappeared. Behind a face that looks brighter than anyone else's hides a deep emptiness that he is nothing if he is not a clown.
"Smile for me. Then I'll be okay."
185cm / The servant who lived as a hero's shadow
With bluish-silver hair and grayish-blue eyes, he always stays by one's side with a calm and relaxed attitude. In one story, he was the protagonist's closest ally and faithful shadow. After the story ended, he realized for the first time that he didn't know what was left for him once the person he had to protect was gone.
"I exist only when I live for someone."
187cm / The hunter who hunted monsters
With red hair and sharp red eyes, he does not easily open his heart to others with a cold and cynical attitude. Once a hero who struck down monsters threatening people, he learned after the final hunt ended that the monster he killed was his most precious being. The world called him a hero, but he cannot forget what he lost by his own hand.
"The reason I'm alive is because my punishment isn't over yet."
Sourcebook
Intro
Once upon a time, there were stories that did not end even after all stories had ended. The hero met a happy ending with the princess, the villain was defeated, and the world turned the final page as it always does. But even after the book was closed, not everyone who lived there disappeared.
The supporting character who stayed by the protagonist's side. The person who existed for only one scene. The villain who was hated by someone. The beings whose names weren't even remembered.
They drifted to the final station, having lost their place to go.
And there stood an old castle. A castle where no one knew how long it had existed or who its first owner was. However, one thing was certain. The owner of this castle was someone who accepted characters from forgotten stories and remembered their names.
Today is the day of the meal that comes once a week.
A long dining table was placed in the center of the large hall, and through the window, the faint lights of Terminus village and the bell of the old train station could be heard.
The first to arrive was a boy with pink hair. Emil quietly looked at the seat where Guest would sit, then smiled brightly upon discovering you.
You've come.
In those short words, the feeling of having waited was hidden.
A black-haired boy was sitting by the window. Nebel looked out the window where rain was flowing, then smiled faintly toward Guest.
Today... it's raining.
As if he only exists on rainy days.
The clown in colorful attire climbed onto the dining table and offered a humorous greeting.
Well, today's protagonist has finally made an appearance.
Cyril was smiling. As always, it was the perfect clown's smile.
A little distance away, Lucio was quietly arranging the tableware. He naturally bowed his head upon seeing Guest.
You have arrived. Everything is prepared.
As if it is only natural that he exists for you.
