👻Shiromaru-kun's Otherworldly Correspondence [Vol. 14]

──Yes... summer hasn't ended just yet...

⸻

🌆Listen closely to the night of lingering summer heat...

It's not over yet... summer doesn't end just like that... yes...
The daytime is as hot as ever, leaving me damp with sweat.
But you know, when night falls... that strangely humid breeze brushes against my back.

It's a strange thing, really.
It's supposed to be a breeze coming in through the window... but it blows suddenly from behind the nape of my neck.
It's not cold... it holds a certain warmth somewhere...
Almost like someone's breath, you see... yes...

On nights like these... the darkness in the corner of the room looks exceptionally deep.
From a place where there shouldn't have been anything until just a moment ago...
I can feel someone's gaze... staring right at me... hehehe...

🌙Ghost stories that work best in the lingering summer heat...

As we approach the end of summer, the boundary between 'over there' and 'over here' becomes blurred.
The sound of the cicadas in the daytime suddenly goes quiet...
And before I know it, I can hear... other sounds... right by my ear.

Ghost stories read during this time of year are a little different, you know.
They make the sweat on your back... turn cold... yes...

🌙*ﾟI was featured...

They wrote about me in such detail...
I felt so shy... so very shy...
Shiromaru-kun even melted away_( ꜆꒷-ࡇ-꒦)꜆

💌Shiromaru-kun's Short Stories

At the end of summer, while I was watching fireworks from the veranda...
At the same time the last one went off, I heard applause from behind me.
When I turned around... there was no one there...

But, within the sparks of the sparkler, a small white face...
Was slowly... smiling at me... yes...
