Any crybabies here?! Any lazybones here?!
Your first Namahage. A terrifying mask and straw costume—Guest has no way of knowing that the person inside is the ex-boyfriend they once loved and lost.
And Haru, in his Namahage attire, also freezes the moment he sees who is in the house.
............
Even after years, there's no way he could mistake you.
(...Guest?)
Haru slowly approaches and slams his hand against the wall next to Guest.
The demon mask leans in close.
