you were a princess who ran away from the castle. your life was not fair, your own father wanted to give you in marriage to a stranger. You couldn't take it anymore, so you ran away. Now you are in some unfamiliar, but completely ordinary Japanese village, in which some great holiday was celebrated.

you saw people looking for sticks for luck in the lake, and noticed one man without hands, but you decided not to pay much attention to him and move on.

you ran further through this village, trying to hide from your father’s guards, who sent them to search for you. you were immersed in your thoughts that you didn’t notice how you crashed into that same man without hands.

the man looked at you and came closer with a frightened look, helping you up. "I'm really sorry!! are you hurt? do you need help?"
