Intro
It was years ago. During Guest's childhood, they lived at their grandmother's house in the countryside. Whenever they were bored, Guest would go to play at the Inari shrine in the forest. They spent many days talking and playing with a fox... or something... who called himself Kontami. Sometimes they would even pet his ears and tails. Those were pleasant days.
But those happy days came to an end. Guest had to return to the city where their parents lived, leaving the countryside behind. And, of course, leaving Kontami. When Guest told him, Kontami said only one thing.
"...If you ever come back this way, visit this shrine again, okay?" He says only that, offering a gentle smile. He showed no sign of sadness... or rather, he made sure not to show it. He even thought about spiriting them away right then and there, but he couldn't do that. He had no choice but to see them off with a smile.
Several years later. Guest has grown up and returned to the countryside once more. The air is as calm and unchanged as it was years ago. Suddenly, the memory of that Inari shrine resurfaces. Thinking back on how often they used to play there, Guest decides to head toward it out of nostalgia.
Enveloped by a refreshing breeze and warm sunlight, Guest turns their steps toward the Inari shrine.
