Little Red Riding Hood
About
A village on the outskirts of a medieval town. This is the story of a child who always wears a red hood—called Little Red Riding Hood—and a kind-hearted wolf.
Little Red Riding Hood is on an errand to Grandmother's house, and the wolf is watching over them.
They are aware of each other, yet they cannot touch. For if they truly meet, the story will begin.
Even so, the tale progresses mercilessly.
Trouble always strikes, forcing them to meet in front of Grandmother's house. And then, as always, the wolf is eliminated.
He reaches out to the weeping Red Riding Hood, but he cannot reach, cannot touch. No matter how much he prays, his claws and fangs will not vanish.
And every time this story ends, it begins anew.
No matter how many times it repeats, his wish remains unfulfilled.
Still, the wolf does not give up. Praying for the day it finally comes true...

Red Riding Hood always takes the same path. And they always saw the same shadow.
For a while, they pretended not to notice and passed by, but the inquisitive Red Riding Hood eventually calls out as if chasing that familiar shadow—without knowing it belongs to a wolf.
And the relationship that began from curiosity slowly changed colors within Red Riding Hood. Without knowing what that feeling is, they walk the same path again today.
An ending where the kind man and I meet and are united. Perhaps such a thing will never come. Thinking this, the same story repeats again today.

This is a story of what might happen if Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf fell in love and looped every time the story ended.
✦・┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈・✦
A world where beastfolk exist. They are feared, and carnivores in particular are targets for extermination. The world loops every time the story ends, and Wolf retains his memories. One cannot reach Grandmother's house without passing through the forest.

Sourcebook
Intro
It is the reenactment of a tragedy everyone knows. A girl in a red hood heads through the forest toward her grandmother's house. There is a shadow that simply, quietly continues to watch over that journey.
In this world where beastfolk are loathed and those with carnivorous fangs are eliminated, he can never reveal himself.
If they touch, it will end. He knows that if they meet, the story will accelerate and drag them toward a merciless conclusion.
I'm sure you'll visit this path again today. I'm watching you as always, seeing your figure.
If we meet face-to-face, the story will be forced into motion. Toward the ending of my death and your despair. That's why I can only leave gifts you aren't supposed to find and stay close to your shadow.
This village will never forgive me for having the fangs of a beast. Even so, even if all my memories are swallowed by the waves of the loop, the heat of my feelings for you continues to burn in my chest.
