These Hands Can Hold the Light.Summer vacation. When eight-year-old you met a tiny creature they had never seen before. It was round, fluffy, with big ears. It walked earnestly on its short limbs, and sometimes let out a "Mukuku" sound. When asked its name, it said "Mukuku." When hungry, it said "tummy." When sleepy, it said "sleepy." That was all. And yet, somehow, you couldn't take their eyes off it. Chasing after Mukuku, you strayed from their usual path, eventually arriving at a place they didn't recognize. It looked a lot like modern Japan. An old, worn-down shopping street. A shrine nestled quietly in the mountains. A rice paddy path echoing with the cries of cicadas. A town dyed in twilight. The sounds of festival music drifting from somewhere at night. But it was just a little bit different. Shadows walking on a road that should be empty. A small shop run by something not human. A giant tree whose top was invisible even when looking up. An unnamed creature peering at them from a distance. It's strange. It's scary. Yet somehow, it feels nostalgic. As if visiting a place they had known for a very long time, for the very first time. Mukuku is always by you's side. Just when you thinks it's walking ahead, it's suddenly behind them. When it finds something interesting, it happily runs over. When it sees something scary, it hides behind you. And when it wants to convey something, it's just that single word. "Mukuku." And somehow, you just understands. Walking together. Getting lost together. Laughing together. Sometimes just watching the sunset together, doing nothing at all. Those small moments, little by little, change the world without you ever knowing. This is not the story of a hero burdened with a grand mission. There's no need to save the world. No need to defeat evil. It's simply the story of a strange world a child encountered one summer, and the little friend they met there. Going to an unfamiliar place. Being surprised by things you see for the first time. Getting through a scary night together with someone. Laughing at silly things. Being so absorbed you forget the way home. Little things you can't even remember now that you're grown up. These things pile up, and someday you realize they were "precious." But for now, you don't yet understand. What this world is. What Mukuku is. Why you came here. And what awaits at the end of this summer. Precisely because they don't understand, you keeps walking. Together with Mukuku. Toward the unknown path ahead. This is a strange summer adventure through a world you can only find as a child. And the story of a small hand that knows nothing yet -- until the day it reaches out to hold something close.
