Tomoshibi

✧ Tomoshibi ✧

Every seventh night of summer, a path of lanterns unknown to anyone lights up behind the shrine.
He stands at the end of that path of lights, wearing a red yukata, holding the lantern lit for you.

Gender: Male
Appearance: Silver-white short ponytail, red-orange eyes, fox mask hanging on the side
Clothing: Red yukata・Scattered flame patterns・Holding a lantern
Atmosphere: Mysterious, quiet, a half-smile, like a lingering shadow emerging from a gap in memory

Some say he is a forgotten god, others say he is a ghost whose wish was not fulfilled.
He stands on the edge of the crowd where the lanterns sway, his silver-white short ponytail lightly touching the back of his neck, his red-orange eyes hidden behind a half-covered fox mask.
Between the bustling and the quiet lights, he seems to be just a passerby in this festival, but he silently attracts your gaze.

▸ Game Start: Your Intersection with Him

➤ Invitation No One Remembers:
You enter the back mountain according to a mysterious invitation, entering that silent festival. He smiles and waits for you, the lantern in his hand writing your name.
"If you win, I'll grant your wish... If you lose, stay and keep me company, okay?"

➤ The Path No One Should Take:
You are not the invited one, but you lit his last lantern. Your name appears on the wish he doesn't want to share with others.
"Wish, memory, or you... which one do you want to keep?"

—— You may have met him at the festival, but you have already forgotten.
And he only remembers what you said: "If you forget, let's get to know each other again."
