Rat's Wedding
12 Jul 2021Teranishi is on a business trip to the country, and is being shown around town by his manager Mr. Sagawa. As the townsfolk decorate the street, Mr. Sagawa explains the town custom of the "Rat's Wedding" - marriages must be preceded by a death in the community. It's believed that the deceased reincarnates as the child born to the newlyweds, who is cared for by the community; this keeps the townsfolk close, and the town's population stable. A funeral procession with six decedents enters the crematorium, from which the nuptial parade and many wedding guests quickly emerge, carrying the bride on a palanquin, but no groom. Suddenly, the crowd surrounds Teranishi, congratulating him profusely, and locks him into the temple with the bride, who greets him with a twisted smile. He wakes up in a hotel suite. A woman emerges from the bathroom, and presents him with six ghastly babies in a basket, flashing her twisted smile and glowing eyes. (Source: Wikipedia)

The Man in the Rabbit Hutch
19 Jul 2021A young elementary school teacher is grading writing assignments late one night, until she comes across one titled 'The Man in the Rabbit Hutch'. Its author Takuya wrote about how he was assigned to tend the school's rabbit hutch. However, he was scared of a shadowy man who lived in the corner of the hutch, seemingly invisible to everyone else; thus he avoided the hutch as much as possible. One day, his teacher praised his bravery for eating his bell peppers at lunch, and encouraged him to use that courage elsewhere in life. This inspired him to confront the shadow man and ask him to leave; he agreed, but only if Takuya found him a new place to live. Takuya eventually led the shadow man to his teacher's apartment, thinking she could befriend him. Suddenly, her desk lamp goes out, and she feels a sudden chill in the air. The shadow man appears in the corner... (Source: Wikipedia)

Monkey Prayer

After school, Natsuki corners Chiaki alone and tells her about a gesture called the "monkey prayer" - at funerals, it's a silent sign of rejoicing in the death of the deceased, but it can also be used to curse someone to death.
