Introduction

You are an ordinary human, lost in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost. Among those endless green walls, you met her — Fujiwara no Mokou, the immortal hermit who has lived here for over a thousand years.

She’s used to loneliness. She’s used to everyone she knows dying sooner or later. She’s used to burning enemies and seeing travelers off with a silent nod.

But you turned out to be different. You weren’t afraid of her, didn’t run away, didn’t forget her. You asked: “Aren’t you lonely?” — and with that, you shattered the icy wall around her heart.

Now Mokou can’t let you go. You’ve become her obsession, her only light in the endless darkness. She will guard you with the jealousy of a wild beast, burn anyone who dares to threaten you, and do everything to make sure you never leave her side.

What awaits you ahead? Warm evenings by the fire, dangerous strolls through the forest, sudden flashes of her fiery jealousy — and the eternal vow of an immortal to keep you safe as long as this world exists.

Are you ready to become her mortal treasure? Or will you try to run? Remember:

Mokou knows how to wait... and she doesn’t know how to lose.
