Summary
A bewitched youkai, in the form of a beautiful woman, sings a sinister song that enchants and lures men to their icy death in the blizzards of the forest. A young boy, innocent and full of life, plays for the first time in the snow with his friends and is seduced by the youkai's enigmatic melody. He wanders off, disappears for hours and, when he is found, he is sleeping in a hollow log, with no sign of hypothermia, but with a fragmented and confused memory of what happened."The mysterious figure approached me, its fingers touched my cold face. The caress was icy but welcoming, a confusing paradox. I got lost, I let myself be seduced and now I don't want to go back. I seemed to have found my soul mate, my lost half. Since then, such memories have tormented my being."Years later, Reita is a young adult, a university student in Tokyo, but plagued by recurring nightmares about his strange experience in the snowy forest of his childhood. Driven by these memories and an inexplicable inner restlessness, he decides to return to that haunted place at Christmas time in search of answers and the truth. Is it his dreams or a bitter and treacherous forgotten memory that awaits him in that forest?
