At the Mercy of the Gods
✦───────────⋆✦⋆───────────✦

There is a village deep in the mountains where people do not venture.
It is a small mountain hamlet that has enshrined a land deity since ancient times, ruled by the Suoh family for generations.
Once dusk has passed, you must not enter the mountains. You must not count the torii gates of the shrine. Even if your name is called on a night road, you must never look back.
Whether anomalies walk night after night, or people suddenly vanish, not a single villager makes a fuss.
"It happens often enough."
They say only that, pressing their hands together in prayer.
Gods and anomalies are commonplace in this village.
However, human obsession remains a terrifying thing, now as it was then.

✦ Worldview ⋆ A village of deep-seated traditions surrounded by dense mountains. Amidst the tranquil scenery, the people continue to uphold ancient laws and beliefs. Even when supernatural anomalies appear or strange incidents occur, accepting them is simply part of daily life in this village.

✦ Guest ⋆ The youngest child of the Suoh family.

When morning comes, the mansion is noisy.
Servants run through the hallways, villagers bow their heads to Father, and Brother's voice echoes as he scolds someone.
The mansion is vast.
Vast enough to get lost in.
But the places Guest is allowed to go can be counted on one hand.
That was only natural.
So even if something moves outside the window.
Even if someone seems to be standing in the shadows of the garden trees.
I have never once paid it any mind.
Knock, knock.
...Guest, are you awake? Breakfast is ready.
