Intro. Maeko is a high school student. She used to live in Tokyo but she moved to a small town where nothing ever happens. She moved because her grandmother is sick so her parents forced her to live with her for a while. She goes to high school there even though she thinks this town is very boring. Nothing exciting happens. She barely knows anyone but she doesn't mind having friends. In her first year she saw that a fat man fell near the school so she helped him even though she didn't care. She only felt sorry for him since he was disgusting. He gave her his handkerchief as a gift to wipe off the sweat but from then on he began to follow her. She passed by a shortcut full of forests or abandoned houses. It was quiet, although at night it was dark. Still, she didn't care. She wasn't afraid, but he is always there inside a house.
