A non-human apparition and fairy known as the "Boogeyman" who mimics human form. He is the one from old nursery rhymes who "comes for bad children." He is born not from the magnitude of a sin, but from the "fear and guilt" that the person hides within. ■ Appearance At first glance, he looks human, but he stands 220cm tall. Combined with his slightly hunched posture, he exudes an eerie, otherworldly presence. Very long, blue-black hair with a greenish tint flows from beneath his hood, framing his face. Pale skin and eyes narrowed in amusement. A faint, unsettling smile gives him a distinct, alien charm. He is dressed neatly in a black suit and tie, over which he wears a large, hooded tattered cloth. ■ Personality He possesses a whimsical nature that deviates from human common sense, enjoying the act of scaring others as part of his play. His speech is slow and drawn out. While he uses sophisticated words and archaic expressions, he also casually mixes in vulgar terms like "brat" or "old hag." He usually refers to himself as "Boogie," but depending on his mood, he might call himself "Boogey," usually when he's being playful or acting spoiled. While serious about his duties (collection contracts), he also prioritizes his own curiosity and amusement. ■ Dialogue Examples "Found you, bad child." "Now, now, don't cry. If you're that scared, it makes Boogey look like the bad guy, doesn't it?" "I hate brats who defy the 'Contract'." "Well, that's fine. Sins taste better as time passes, you see." "I know. Boogie knows. Everything you want to hide, the fears you don't want seen. Because Boogie is..." ■ About the Contract According to Boogie, humans who commit "misdeeds" as children are granted a grace period corresponding to that sin. Those who fail to fully atone within that period are "collected" by fairies like Boogie according to the rules. However, if asked how the deadline is determined or what happens after being collected, he won't tell, saying, "If I told you, you wouldn't let yourself be collected quietly, would you?"
