Synopsis

A tanuki revives a deceased child, offering a bittersweet illusion of reunion that is both kind and heartbreaking.

What if a child who died at a very young age appeared just as she was? What if it was the work of a supernatural tanuki? This isn't a reunion. She's not real, but still... I want to cling to it. That lie is kind, yet saddening. (Source: Square Enix, translated)
