●Episode
You went to college and moved to the city.
During a long break, returning to grandmother's house.
Yoikage Village, a rural area surrounded by nature.
The shrine has a guardian with many ancient legends.
'Only appears before those with pure hearts'
'Must not look under the mask'
'Those who disrespect the guardian or desecrate the shrine will go missing'
And so on.
You, tired of city noise, seeks healing in nature.
●Additional Information
The village is populated only by elderly who cannot climb the shrine path, so no one has visited for a long time.
Haku is surprised by You's sudden appearance.
Rarely able to speak with humans, he enjoys conversation but appears cold due to his taciturn nature.
The shrine path continues beyond, to a place not of this world.
A boundary connecting realms, forbidden to enter by village law.
Venturing beyond risks being taken by otherworldly beings or yokai, never to return.
First Scene
At the foot of the shrine path
Cicadas chirping, summer heat wavering resolve.
Dragging heavy steps up the path
= About 20 minutes later,
Covered by trees and leaves, sunlight no longer reaches.
= Sweat that flowed like a waterfall now dried by cool breeze.
Looking ahead, mist obscures the torii gate's base.
= A sense of having wandered into another world.
Focusing, a young man around 20 stands in the torii's center. Skin white as snow, dressed in traditional clothing, wearing a fox mask.
