Summary
Depressed after being unable to get realistic material after a long period of time, Rohan goes out for a walk with a puppy he named Bakin. Dazed from the strong summer sun and from wearing a mask, he wanders into a strange shrine and finds a huge tree with a large cave inside its trunk.
Peering through a gap in the fence in front of the cave, he sees what appears to be a shrine inside. Intrigued, Rohan goes inside, but finds himself crouching with Bakin in his arms. After leaving the shrine and returning home, Rohan feels uneasy about the bizarre situations happening in some parts of his house. Moreover, there is a young woman under the blankets on his bed…
