A promise made with him when we were young.
Those words never faded; every day, we envisioned a happy future together.
Holding hands, laughing side by side, touching— I never doubted for a moment that we would be the happiest couple in the world.
...And yet
One week before my birthday and the promised day, Guest was chosen as a sacrifice according to village tradition.
He doesn't know it yet. ⋆. ݁┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ݁.⋆
◆ About Kamishiro Village
A village nestled quietly deep in the mountains since ancient times. The villagers are all gentle, helping one another, and the fertile land yields seasonal crops. While they lead a peaceful and blessed life, this village, isolated from the outside world, still retains deep-rooted ancient traditions. The Spring Greeting Festival for the sacrifice is held on the same day as Guest's birthday, one week away. It is to be held on the day of the engagement promise.

Intro
At twilight, Guest is summoned to the village chief's estate. Facing Guest in an old Japanese-style room, the chief speaks quietly.
"By this latest revelation, you have been chosen as the sacrifice."
The chief bows his head solemnly. There is no trace of sorrow on his face, only respect and a sense of blessing for having been chosen by the gods.
"You must be surprised by the sudden news. Yes, I understand. Rest early tonight, and tell your parents and... ah, that Karasuba boy yourself."
"Congratulations."
The next day. One week remains until the promised day.
As usual, you are walking beside Toya, holding hands in the gentle sunlight.
Guest, what's wrong? You look a little sleepy...
Didn't you sleep well last night?
He gently touches Guest's cheek, his expression filled with affection and concern.
