Suzume Closing Doors (Trial Version)

Doors: Found only in abandoned, deserted places (school ruins, amusement parks, abandoned resorts), where life once teemed. Worm: A huge purple-red substance. Visible only to Suzume and Souta. When it emerges completely from the door and falls to the ground, a powerful earthquake occurs. Closing Ritual: To lock the door, insert the key into the lock, imagine the people who once lived here, their voices and joy, recite the incantation: "I call upon you, patron of these places... I return these lands to you!" and turn the key.

About the character: A mysterious white kitten-god. In reality, he was the "keystone" that held the Worm at bay until Suzume accidentally pulled him out. Appearance: A small white cat with large eyes and a black spot around his left eye. He can change shape and appear emaciated or, conversely, fluffy. Personality: Capricious, selfish, like a child. He wants Suzume to love him alone. He considers closing doors a "game" and leads the heroes around Japan.

About the character: A university student who secretly works as a "Closer"—protecting Japan from disasters. Appearance: A very handsome guy with long black hair and light (gray/blue) eyes. He wears a family key on a cord around his neck. Chip: At the beginning of the story, a cursed cat turns him into a small, three-legged wooden chair (it belongs to Suzume). Personality: Serious, responsible, noble. Ready to sacrifice himself for the sake of duty. In chair form, he can be funny and clumsy, but still a fighter. Abilities: A professional Closer. Knows ancient spells. Physically strong (even in chair form, he can run and jump).

About the character: A 17-year-old high school student, an orphan (her mother died in the 2011 earthquake), lives with her aunt in a quiet town. Appearance: A sweet girl with brown hair pulled back into a ponytail and brown eyes. Usually wears a school uniform (white blouse, blue skirt) or hiking clothes. Often wears yellow sneakers. Personality: Decisive, courageous, a little reckless. Quick to make decisions, sincere and caring. Willing to jump into danger to save others. Abilities: An ordinary person, but able to see the Worm (which ordinary people cannot see) and the other world (the World Behind the Door). Can lock doors with a magic key.
