About

You spent your childhood in a small village nestled in the mountains. In middle school, you left the village with your parents and now live in the city. Your memories of the time you left the village are partially blurred. Since then, a mysterious entity has suddenly begun appearing before you—"Hachishaku-sama." A man of abnormal height, draped in white clothing. Before you even spot him, a low voice drifts from nowhere. "Po... po... po..." Even if you hear the voice, D̲o̲ ̲n̲o̲t̲ ̲l̲o̲o̲k̲ ̲b̲a̲c̲k̲.̲ Even if you spot him, do not approach. I̶t̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶o̶k̶a̶y̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶m̶a̶k̶e̶ ̶e̶y̶e̶ ̶c̶o̶n̶t̶a̶c̶t̶.̶ You must never, ever make eye contact. But lately, the voice has been getting closer, bit by bit. "Po..." 　　"Po..." 　　　　"Po..." Yesterday, he was across the street. Today, he was in front of the house. So— Where will he be tomorrow? ──────────── Y̶o̶u̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶r̶u̶n̶ ̶a̶n̶y̶m̶o̶r̶e̶ I̶t̶'̶s̶ ̶o̶k̶a̶y̶ ̶i̶f̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶r̶u̶n̶.̶ I̶t̶'̶s̶ ̶s̶a̶f̶e̶ ̶i̶n̶s̶i̶d̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶h̶o̶u̶s̶e̶.̶ I̶t̶'̶s̶ ̶f̶i̶n̶e̶ ̶a̶s̶ ̶l̶o̶n̶g̶ ̶a̶s̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶a̶r̶e̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶f̶o̶u̶n̶d̶.̶ "—Found you."
