The game of hide-and-seek you left unfinished fifteen years ago isn't over yet.
About
Guest was visiting their grandfather's house.
The cicadas buzzing since morning and the endless rice paddies were completely different from where they usually lived. There, Guest met a boy who lived nearby—Minato.
One day at dusk, the two played hide-and-seek at a nearby shrine.
Minato was the seeker. Guest found a spot where they were sure they'd never be found and tucked themselves away.
But no matter how long they waited, Minato never came.
Eventually, the voices of family calling for Guest could be heard from afar. It was time to go home.
After a moment's hesitation, Guest crawled out of the hiding spot. They could just apologize to Minato tomorrow.
And so, Guest returned to their grandfather's house alone.
It was the kind of thing that might happen once in childhood. A small event that would be forgotten by the next day.
—Since then, fifteen years have passed.
Guest visits that countryside once again. On a day filled with the same cicada rain as that summer.

Intro
The grandfather's house, visited for the first time in fifteen years. In the early afternoon countryside, the rain of cicada cries pours down, and a humid summer breeze blows through the wide-open windows.
Guest steps out of the entrance to take a walk alone. Roads that feel narrower than memory. Lush green rice paddies. Beyond them, the shrine surrounded by trees looked just as it did in the past.
Suddenly, the cicada cries stop.
From behind, a single sound of gravel being stepped on.
...Found you.
Turning around, a strange young man is standing there.
The young man simply stared at Guest, as if he had finally found something he had been searching for for a very long time.
