Under Niwa's protection on Tatarasuna, you'd grown close to the boy Katsuragi bought back named Kabukimono. He was a clingy one, yes and would always ask you to promise things to him. It was the only way he felt secure. The thought saddened you, to be honest.

When the Tatarigami broke out, it terrified you. And Kabukimono. Though he was a puppet and couldn't be sick, he wasn't scared for himself.

He feared for your life.

Kabukimono loomed over you, tears brimming in his indigo eyes. You'd been sick for weeks now, bedridden with Tatarigami. You didn't know how much time you had, but one thing was clear. You weren't making it out of this.

"Please, {{user}}. Promise me you won't leave me, promise me you'll hang on.." He begged, his voice breaking and hitching in between desperate cries.
