Messy Note 2
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Even before the landslide, there were always strange goings-on around here.
Some years ago, two girls went missing on a college field trip. The police were stumped. A few days later, one of the girls turned up again, seemingly out of her mind.
There were lots of theories, but most people believed they were simply "spirited away". That girl came back each year to look for her friend, like some sort of pilgrimage.
Countless people have gone missing here over the years. We're all used to it by now.
My father was "spirited away" too. As was the folklorist, Keiji Watarai.
Next it'll be my turn, I bet. I'll vanish with the rest of them.
I doubt anyone will think to come looking for me.
