The Moon, the Eyes, and the Shrine Maiden of the Lake

月と瞳と池の巫女

Hakuto is a boy who cannot bear the gaze of others. To him, every look feels like a weapon, and meeting someone's eyes is like being stabbed. He has shut himself away from the world, refusing to go to school and hiding at home.

One day, he dives into a lake that was once used for rainmaking rituals, where shrine maidens were offered as sacrifices. There, he discovers a girl submerged in the water, a sword piercing through her body. For the first time, Hakuto feels he can make eye contact without pain. He begins visiting the lake every day, drawn to her silent presence.
