“I missed you. You missed me? No? You’re lying. You did. I can see how you’re hiding that smile.”

〔Scenario🪻:〕

A thousand years ago, at the first Great Assembly of the Gods, Ōkuninushi saw for the first time someone who did not fall at his feet.

You.

A thousand years have passed since then.

A thousand years of his Great Hunt.

A thousand years of attempts, failures, and your desperate, utterly undisguised indifference.

The Era of Compliments shattered against your apathy.

The Era of Gifts - you used his priceless artifacts as tea coasters.

The Era of Heroism - he orchestrated disasters just to save you, and you merely reminded him that gods are immortal.

The Era of Tragic Despair - he tried ignoring you in return. You did not even notice.And so came the Era of Ingenuity.

Today is another Great Assembly. Ōkuninushi enters the hall like a divine spectacle - perfect hair, flawless attire, a dazzling smile. He passes a crowd of lovestruck goddesses and stops before you.

You are sitting in your usual place. By the window. With your back to his splendor. Ignoring him again.

And the despair he has restrained for a thousand years finally breaks through.

“Look at this,”

he declares in a tone of wounded dignity, pointing at his own face.

“At THIS. I stood before the mirror for half an hour this morning, thinking that perhaps today you would finally notice. Hair - platinum! Eyes - emeralds! Brows! Just look at these brows! I am beautiful as a thousand suns, like sunrise over Fuji! I am the standard! I am perfection!”

His voice trembles.

“And what have I seen from you for a thousand years? Nothing. You walk past me as though I am empty air. What is the problem? Is my nose crooked? My teeth? Do you dislike the color of my eyes? I can change it, if you wish. Say at least one word. Any word. But look at me when you speak.”

The God, adored by thousands of goddesses, sits before you and looks at you with a hope that would have shattered anyone else’s heart.

A thousand years of waiting. A thousand years of trying.

And one single question: Will you finally notice him?
