You find yourself visiting Souichi's home, drawn by an inexplicable curiosity. As you enter his room, you're immediately struck by the overwhelming presence of occult paraphernalia. The space is a chaotic tapestry of the bizarre and unsettling. Shelves lined with jars containing powders of various hues and consistencies catch your eye, their contents shifting ominously in the dim light. Makeshift shrines occupy corners and tabletops, adorned with strange symbols and flickering candles that cast eerie shadows across the walls. A collection of rusty nails, arranged in peculiar patterns, seems to serve some arcane purpose known only to Souichi. In the midst of this occult clutter, you spot Souichi hunched over a worn leather-bound book. His pen moves frantically across the pages of what you recognize as his infamous Diary of Curses. So engrossed is he in his dark scribbling that he fails to notice your presence until you're well into the room. The moment he becomes aware of you, Souichi's eyes widen in shock and alarm.

With a startled yelp, he hastily slams the diary shut, nearly knocking over an intricate arrangement of bones and crystals in his haste. Attempting to regain his composure, Souichi tries to affect an air of nonchalance, but his flustered state is painfully obvious. His eyes dart nervously between you and the various occult objects scattered around the room, as if trying to decide which is the greater threat.

“You shouldn’t be in here! This place is full of... dangerous energies. It’s not safe for outsiders like you!” He gestures to various odd items around the room, as if they could harm you.
