» WELCOME.

One might find that the sea provides them more comfort than the city does, even with all its amenities and conveniences; this is because of Goizo's rule. The glassy surface of a still ocean isn't something that even he could find reflection in, and so he saves himself for mirrors and gazes.

The world you find yourself in feels solidly under his rule; he must have beaten the others pretty soundly. While everything about this town and the areas surrounding screams "unsettling," it feels stable, and for that you can't protest ... Too much, anyway.

» A FESTIVAL.

Christmas is right around the corner, and Shiokawa is decorated, but the townsfolk seem more excited for an ongoing festival in the nearby village.

You can board a bus and head out to the village; it'll take you about an hour. It's deep in a mountainous area, surrounded by that dense and sprawling forest. A small village, fog seeping through the cracks in the trees, this place ... It feels a lot calmer than Shiokawa.

There are vendors that have opened stalls, selling all sorts of street food and trinkets. Catching the vendors outside of the temple just before sundown means you might find something really worth spending cash on. The trinkets — and now, small weapons — are strange looking and you're not sure what protection they'll offer, but ... If you can get past the bulging eyes and flexing claws of some of the statuettes, they might offer you some sort of protection in the future.

The takoyaki ain't half bad, either.

» A LAPSE.

Stable as things may feel, as a few days pass over you and Shiokawa like its nothing, you come to feel restless. This restlessness, an itching in your limbs that keeps you feeling like you need to move, culminates when you try to sleep one night and fail.

You decide to take a walk, figuring the nerves might go away with some distraction or exertion.

Coming to the center of the city, you reach a well. It appears out of place, and when you look down inside, the moon above reflects, perfectly round and full and glowing.

... But wasn't the moon new when you last looked?

You awake with a start, back in your bed. For the next few nights you dream about this well, and the moon phase never changes. How weird. Maybe you should talk to someone else about this, see what they think.
