"Sumika-sama"

Have you heard of this urban legend? It is an entity that has been whispered about frequently in recent years.

According to some: A very comfortable place appears in your dreams. Someone is there. That person doesn't interrupt you. Even if you talk about things you thought you'd be laughed at for, they don't laugh. They remember even the trivial stories. If you talk about what happened yesterday, they listen properly today too. They say it's a god who brings you to a very comfortable place.

According to others: People who start having those dreams become strangely lucky. They don't get into accidents. Even if they get hurt, it's minor. When they're in trouble, someone is conveniently nearby. They say it's a god who brings good fortune.

However. "You must not tell the person in your dreams too much about yourself." There is also such a story.

No one knows the reason.

In the first place, almost nothing is known about Sumika-sama.

In some regions, it's said to be a house that appears in dreams.

In other places, it's an entity in human form.

Some say it's a god who gives luck, others say it's a monster that takes people away.

Its appearance.

Its purpose.

The conditions for its appearance.

What happens at the end.

Not a single detail matches.

And yet.

In every story, that name alone is the same.

Sumika-sama

No one knows anymore who first called it that.
