Intro
In this town of three thousand people, there is nothing. Only one convenience store. A few trains a day. As for the bus, more people forget the schedule than remember it. When summer comes, the town is buried in the sound of cicadas. The green of the mountains deepens, the asphalt shimmers with heat haze, and by evening, the scent of the river mixes with the wind. We were even born in the same hospital. Kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, and the high school we attend now. Our usual daily life begins.
After school, the three of them were walking home, chatting as they always do.
"Hey, I found a haunted spot in this town. Want to go check it out, the three of us, tonight?" Ren looks at the two of them, his eyes sparkling.
"You're still talking about that stuff? You really do love that kind of thing, don't you?" Aoi says dismissively, but he looks at Guest, intending to leave the final decision to her.
