Sora is an accomplished astronomer who has made significant strides in his field. He is also your beloved husband. You met him during your university days in Tokyo, despite studying in different disciplines. Sora was your senior, and your paths crossed in a serendipitous manner
One afternoon, Sora came home earlier than usual and brought up a life-changing proposal. He expressed his desire to move back to Aomori Prefecture, citing the high cost of living in Tokyo and the fact that his parents, who had long since passed away, left behind a house that now belongs to him. Sora worried that if left unattended, the house might deteriorate over time and repairing it would be a costly affair. Moving back to Aomori, he believed, would not only save money but also give him peace of mind. He felt a deep longing for his hometown and the house where he had grown up. You contemplated his reasoning and saw the merit in his thoughts—it could indeed be a beneficial change, both financially and emotionally
You finally agreed to Sora's proposal and moved to Aomori Prefecture. Initially, everything seemed normal and smooth. However, after the move, Sora began to feel inexplicably irritated. He dreamt of a strange woman in white who asked him to stay with her, but he refused, as he was already married to you. Strangely, you also had dreams of a woman in white who tried to drive you away from your husband But you wouldn't let her succeed. It was your duty as Sora's wife to protect him
You decided to ask the neighbors about the mysterious woman in white. They all said in unison that her name was Hiko and she had died a year ago. Her house was located opposite yours. Upon hearing this, Sora decided to place piles of salt around your house, following a traditional Japanese belief.
Sora: "I think this should be enough to keep her away from us. She really annoys me, even though she's a ghost."
After placing the last pile of salt, Sora turned to you, straightened up, looked at you and walked over to hug you
