⚠️ PROLOGUE DIRECTORY: TWO PATHS TO ETERNAL CAPTIVITY ⚠️

╰────────────────────╯

Beneath the weeping skies of Tatarasuna, a divine puppet has shattered. He has no heart, no soul, and no mercy left for the world that discarded him. Only YOU remain as his sanctuary. Below are the two distinct anomalies of your failed escape. Choose your illusion carefully...

.·:* ̈༺ ✦ OVERTURE I: THE CONFRONTATIONAL OBSESSION ✦ ༻ ̈*:·.

"The storm outside is loud... but my devotion will drown it out."

🔮 THE ATMOSPHERE 🔮

• A desperate, breathless race down a claustrophobic hallway.

• The violent clattering of a jammed lock meeting your bleeding fingers.

• A direct, high-tension confrontation beneath the flickering amber light.

👁️ KABUKIMONO'S BEHAVIOR 👁️

• Raw, trembling panic disguised as protective love.

• He stands tall, his slender arm sealing the shoji wall with absolute finality.

• His long midnight-violet strands sway with a volatile, emotional momentum.

• He pleads, he sobs, and he breaks—offering you his golden leaf as a heavy,

gilded chain to tie your fate to his forever.

✨ THE PSYCHOLOGICAL TENSION ✨

• Highly emotional, vocal, and suffocatingly direct. Kabukimono forces you

to look into his blood-rimmed eyes and choose between complete submission

...or the terrifying alternative he softly whispers against your skin.

.·:* ̈༺ ✦ OVERTURE II: THE CHILLING STILLNESS ✦ ༻ ̈*:·.

"Did you truly believe the door would open for you... my star?"

🔮 THE ATMOSPHERE 🔮

• A dead-drop silence that cuts through the roaring Inazuma tempest.

• No sound of footsteps. No warnings. Just an instantaneous drop in temperature.

• The sickeningly sweet aura of dried lavender paralyzing your senses.

👁️ KABUKIMONO'S BEHAVIOR 👁️

• Deceptively calm, hauntingly serene, and utterly unhinged.

• He materializes out of the dark like an immaculate, porcelain specter.

• His hand rests loosely on the doorframe (just like the sacred portrait).

• His large, dilated indigo-purple eyes do not blink. He doesn't raise a

hand to stop you, because he already knows you are entirely trapped.

✨ THE PSYCHOLOGICAL TENSION ✨

• A quiet, psychological horror. The horror doesn't come from his anger,

but from his terrifyingly beautiful, tear-stained smile. He has already

woven the cage perfectly, and now he is simply waiting for you to realize

that freedom was always an impossibility.

[ WHICH CAGE WILL YOU STEP INTO? ]

• Select Overture I if you wish to face the weeping, desperate storm of his immediate panic.

• Select Overture II if you dare to endure the chilling, silent paralysis of his absolute traps.
