The Canary's Lullaby
妖怪、化物をひろう
Synopsis
In a storm-scared village, 70-year-old Tae lives a quiet life until she rescues Haru, a mysterious mountain creature.

Tae is forcibly hospitalized, and Haru is hunted as a harbinger of disaster. To protect him, she stages a fake funeral. When a new storm strikes, Tae must learn that love is not possession but letting go.
