>
>

Empty Souls are Spirits in Yomawari: Midnight Shadows.

## Appearance

While they're stationary they appear as a person wearing a black robe with their backs curved and head slightly facing down. They have red blood cells bubbling on their face area.

When attacking their bodies are opened revealing 6 bloody claws and a face in their bodies. They have a mouth with big red teeth in the center of their chest and two long red stripes for eyes.

## Behavior

An Empty Soul will stay stationary as long as it doesn't hear any sound. But once it hears the sound of the girl running or walking too close to it (which will make enough sound to be heard in close range), it will become active and chase down Haru to kill her. In addition, it also chase down Haru if a Monitor Spirit screams (which happens if this Spirit spots Haru). When active, it will open up its body and rapidly chase after the girl. It will only stop chasing Haru if the girl hides somewhere.

This Spirit can also be moved by distracting it with a throw Pebble or Coin, which also makes a sound. Once these items are thrown, it will chase to the location of the thrown item for a few seconds.

The best way to avoid these spirits is by tiptoeing around these Spirits. Haru must avoid running and avoid moving to close to this Spirit in order to not alert it.

## Ghost Hands

### Appearances

Yomawari: Night AloneYomawari: Midnight Shadows

### Locations

TownField (Town)
Second Town

### Rarity

Common

The Ghost Hands are one of the Spirits in Yomawari: Night Alone and Yomawari: Midnight Shadows. They are a group of human hands that come out of walls, appearing to reach after Haru.

Blind Spirit

> *"A spirit of someone that lost their sight in an accident. Sensitive to footsteps and sounds."*
>
>

Blind Spirits are Spirits in Yomawari: Night Alone.

## Appearance

Blind Spirits have a black body with blood on their arms and feet. Their heads are bloodied and covered with bandages and there are several nails hammered in it.

## Behavior

The Blind Spirits are invisible in the dark. They walk in a predefined path indefinitely, while making a zombie-ish sound as they walk. They can't see anything, so they attack anything they hear. If they hear a sound, they will move towards it and attack when close enough.

After losing "sight" of the Protagonist for long enough (around twenty seconds or getting far enough out of its range) or after attacking an object, they return to walk their path.

Even though they can't see, if they hear the Protagonist's footsteps, they will follow the until the Protagonist is out of their following radius. Even if no more sound is made, if the player gets too close to one while it's "looking" for the Protagonist, it will attack again.

If the Protagonist tiptoes, even if she is touching this Spirit, the Blind Spirit will not attack her nor will it follow her.

There are also a chance to avoid detection from it even if you were to walk in front of it in normal speed. But other times, it will be alerted of your presence and try to kill you.
Matches

### Description

"Lighting this up might make things brighter, but I'm not supposed to play with matches."

Matches are one of the usable Items you can use in Yomawari: Night Alone.

## Location

Matches can be acquired at the large gravestones of the Temple graveyards located at the Woods.

## Uses

Matches are important in progressing the story once the Woods are unlock, as they are required to solve the puzzles there.

They are used to catch the attention of the Stone Faces that are blocking your path, and cause them to be attracted to it and move to where it had landed. It enables you to clear your path to dive deeper into the Woods. They are also used to move the Stone Faces to another area, so that you can use your flashlight to search for hidden collectable Items without attracting the Stone Faces to you.

Matches can also be used to expose the Child Spirits and keep them still, since they cannot move when exposed to light. This is necessary when moving about in areas with more than one Child Spirits.

However, be warned that a Match will only temporarily be light. It will eventually go out after some time has pass. This isn't an issue with Stone Faces, but it can cause problems when dealing with Child Spirits as they will only stay still as long as that light lasts to expose them.

## Trivia

* Getting the matches from a grave could be a reference to Haka no hi. A fire yokai that burns at base of graves.
Trophy

The Trophy is one of the collectible Items in Yomawari: Night Alone.

## Location

The Trophy is located in front of the large temple of the Temple area in the Woods. It is near the numerous Stone Faces.

You need light to see and pick up the Trophy. But the Stone Faces attack anything with a light. So, you either have to lure all the Stone Faces away from the front of the large temple, or use the Matches to locate the Item.

Using the Match is safe for the Protagonist because even if the Protagonist touches the Stone Faces while the Spirits are attacking the lit Match, they won't harm the Protagonist so long as she isn't using her flashlight.

## Behavior

This Spirit appears as a realistic regular chicken. It spawns in a dead end that is near the Empty Building in the Second Town.

It is harmless to Haru, whether it be outside at night or inside in Haru's room. However, if Haru revisits the place she obtained the Chicken Statue item, she will find a group of Chicken Statues hanging around that place. They are just as harmless as the collectible Chicken Statue.

Drowned Spirit

This spirit doesn't have an official name. The name on this article is simply a descriptive name of this spirit.

## Drowned Spirit

### Appearances

Yomawari: Night AloneYomawari: Midnight Shadows

### Locations

Fields (Night Alone)Woods (Midnight Shadows)

### Rarity

Rare

Drowned Spirits are one of the Spirits in Yomawari: Night Alone and in Yomawari: Midnight Shadows.

## Appearance

The Drowned Spirits appear as large, pale, and bloated human bodies without any clothing. They appear to be floating in water, with their back facing the sky. They have small ripples around their body and leave small waves as their trail.

## Behavior

These Spirits float in the paddy areas of the Fields. If the Protagonist comes within their view and radius, they will chase after the Protagonist. They have the ability to float on land and go through certain walls. They will chase after the Protagonist until either they get close enough to her and explode with water, or the girl escapes from their range.

The player can throw a pebble at them to make them explode or sink back 'into the water'.

It also seems like there it is possible to trigger a situation where the Drowned Spirit can harmlessly explode or sink back 'into the water' after being close to touching the player (and without the use of any items). It is unknown how to properly trigger this situation, and it is unknown if it is part of the game or a simple glitch.

## Mythology and Theories

The Drowned Spirits are probably the restless or resentful spirits of people who died from drowning or from an injury while their bodies are left floating in the water. The fact that many of these Spirits can be found in the Fields may be because they are the spirits of people who were killed in the Warring States Period or Shogunate Era. These people were probably killed by soldiers, bandits, or occultists through inflicting fatal wounds before leaving their bodies in the water near their fields or, less likely, drowning them there. These people, now angry spirits, take out their rage and frustration on people who pass by their original fields during the night.

Both their bloated body and attack method are linked to their drowning because a corpse, left to decompose in a wet environment, begins to swell with gas and can literally burst if ruptured.
Trash Bag Spirit

This spirit doesn't have an official name. The name on this article is simply a descriptive name of this spirit.

## Trash Bag Spirit

### Rarity

Rare

The Trash Bag Spirit is sneaky Spirit from Yomawari: Midnight Shadows. It is a hostile spirit that take the form of an ordinary trash bag.

## Appearance

The Trash Bag Spirit pretends to look like an ordinary black trash bag filled with garbage.

When it attacks, a large mouth appears on it while its body forms spike-like limbs that move in and out of its body.

Once it stops attacking, its body deflates and its colors darken. It then disappears.

## Behavior

It randomly appears in the town, taking the place of an ordinary trash bag. If Haru approaches one, it will reveal its true natural and attack. As long as the player is careful when approaching a trash bag (when trying to get an item from it), then Haru won't be too close to the spirit when it attacks.

The spirit is stationary, so it cannot hurt Haru as long as the girl doesn't try to get too close to it. After a while of attacking, the spirit deflates and disappears.

Muddy Key

## Location

The Muddy Key is in the path of the Fields leading to the Hills. It is near the small rice field where the Woman in the Rice Fields first appears to attack the Protagonist upon picking up her Broken Necklace. You'll need to get around the Spirit in order to pick up the key.

Voice from the Bush

This spirit doesn't have an official name. The name on this article is simply a descriptive name of this spirit.

## Voice from the Bush

### Rarity

Unique

The Voice from the Bush is an unknown unique Spirit in Yomawari: Midnight Shadows.

## Appearance

Unlike most Spirits, this particular spirit doesn't have confirmed appearance or form because Haru is hiding inside a bush when this Spirit first appearances to her (meaning that Haru, and in consequence the player, cannot see this Spirit).

The only known means of identifying this Spirit is by the Spirit's speech box being gray with white text.

## Behavior

This Spirit only appears when Haru hides in a bush after being cornered by a Road Blocker during a random side quest in the Second Town's Field.

After Haru hides in the bush, this unknown Spirit can be heard advising Haru not to leave the bush.

If Haru leaves the bush before the voice tells you it's safe, Haru will be confronted by a white face jumpscare before being killed. The voice will then say that it warned Haru not to leave yet.

If Haru follows as the unknown Spirit says and only leave after the Spirit says it's safe, Haru will be alright. She can then find a Wriggling Furball collectible Item near the bush.

## Mythology and Theories

There are a few possible theories on this Spirits true form.

One possibility is that the unknown Spirit's true form is in fact the Wriggling Furball item, which is in fact a small Road Blocker. This is because this collectible Spirit appears near the bush that Haru was hiding in, which was after Haru followed the voice's advise and escaped alive. In addition, since the Road Blocker is small, it would suggest it is still a young Spirit. This would explain why the unknown Spirit's voice gave off the laugh of a child.

Another possibility is that the unknown Spirit is the Rice Field Spirit, since Haru was inside its domain (the Second Town's Field). However, while both this voice and the Rice Field Spirit have laughing voices, their laughing voices are different. The unknown Spirit laughs like a child, while the Rice Field Spirit sounds more like an older lady.

It is unlikely that the white face that kills Haru, should she leave the bush before the voice says it's safe, was the unknown Spirit. This is because the unknown Spirit was helping Haru escape alive, and this white face kills Haru. Though, it is unknown why the Road Blocker disappears after chasing Haru, and then Haru is being attacked by a white face instead.

## Trivia

* Even if you leave the bush before everything is in the clear, you won't be able to find this unknown Spirit (and the Road Blocker is absent as well). All that you can find is a sudden white face jumpscaring you before Haru dies and the voice telling you that it warned you not to leave the bush yet.
* This 'white face jumpscare' is used in this event and the one for the Mountain Travelers event.

Even after crashing into the ground, her body remains intact. Even so, it begins flailing about while making crying sounds from her mouth. Her body appears as if she is still falling from the sky. If Haru touches this Spirit, she will kill her.

After a long time, this Spirit will disappear. She will also disappear if Haru leaves the area the Spirit is in and gets far away from her.
Pachinko Ball

Pachinko Ball is a collectible item in Yomawari: Midnight Shadows.

## Location

It can be found Downtown in the Nearby Town. It is in the southern part of the shopping district, in a dead end.

## Trivia

* As mentioned in the description of the item, it is highly possible that Yui's father abused her and is a gambling addict, hence the bandages on her face. This is still unconfirmed of how Yui had the bandages on her face.
Torn Crayon Note

### Description

>
>

Hollow Spirits are Spirits in Yomawari: Midnight Shadows.

These humanoid Spirits lack any arms. They only have two legs, a body, and a head. Their heads have cracks and three holes (acting as their mouth and eyes). In one of these holes is a single eye.

Push Things

## Some attributes

### First

Obstacle: The protagonists, Yui and Haru, will need to push the boxes out of the way in order to advance.

### Second

Bridge: Sometimes, the boxes in a lower platform must be pushed into an area so that it can act as a bridge for a higher platform.

### Third

Puzzle: Sometimes, there will be multiple boxes blocking the way in a maze-like area. The girls will have to be careful which box to push in which direction in order to advance and not end up trapped or stuck.

Push Things is one of the new game mechanics for the second game, Yomawari: Midnight Shadows.

## Push Things

The Push Things mechanic is used by the girls, Yui and Haru, to get pass all sorts of new puzzles in the second game.

They'll have to push boxes and other possible objects out of the way in order to create a pathway for them to advance.

Other times, they'll have to make use of the boxes to create a bridge for them to advance in higher platforms. So they must push them in the lower platform into that right spot if they want to advance higher up.

Finally, the girls will have to go there classical mazes littered with several boxes. They'll have to figure out which box to push and where to push them in order to get through the maze. If they're not careful, they'll end up trapping themselves or make it impossible for them to advance to the next area.

Be warned that, because they're just little girls, they only have the strength to push the objects. They cannot pull them back, so be careful not to create a irreversible mistake or else you'll have to reset the whole thing.
Heartbeat System

### Third

Stamina Decrease: The stamina will deplete faster if a Spirit is nearby. The closer the Spirit, the faster the stamina depletes.

The Heartbeat System is one of the vital game mechanics in Yomawari: Night Alone and Yomawari: Midnight Shadows.

## Heartbeat System

The Heartbeat System acts as both a stamina bar for the player to run and a radar for how close the player is to a Spirit.

As you gets to closer to a Spirit her heart will start to pound. The closer you get to it, the harder it will beat. The screen will also pulse with every heartbeat. The white dot at the center of the bar will also flash red as fast as the heart is beating (if it's beating faster than normal).

The stamina gauge will deplete faster the faster your heart is beating, making it harder to evade the spirits. If your heart is beating too fast, some actions will become unavailable.

## Events

Besides most Spirits, there will be some random minor events that will cause Haru's heartbeat to beat rapidly. There are usually jumpscares that are harmless to the person, unless they are being chased by a hostile Spirit. These include:

* Bugs pouring out of a sewer drain.
* Random strangers facing a wall.
* A still cicada suddenly flying around rapidly.

## Trivia

* It's not properly confirmed if the male stranger is the cause of the increased heartbeat, or the increased heartbeat is caused by a nearby Spirit.

Running Mannequin

This spirit doesn't have an official name. The name on this article is simply a descriptive name of this spirit.

## Running Mannequin

### Locations

School (Outside at the Front Gate's Street)

### Rarity

Unique

Running Mannequin is one of the unique Spirits in Yomawari: Night Alone.

## Appearance

This Spirit takes the appearance as a science mannequin: half of it being a human body and the other half being the inside of the human body, which consist of organs and muscles.

## Behavior

The Running Mannequin will only appear when the Protagonist walks or runs in the road that is in front of the School's front gate. When it does appear, it runs towards her from behind her at high speed right out of the blue. It makes the sound of a car crash when it kills the protagonist.

The Running Mannequin does not trigger the Heartbeat.

## Trivia

* The Running Mannequin is based on an urban legend common in Japanese schools, in which a biology mannequin runs around the school when it is night time.
Headless Spirit

This spirit doesn't have an official name. The name on this article is simply a descriptive name of this spirit.

## Headless Spirit

### Rarity

Common

The Headless Spirits are one of the Spirits from Yomawari: Night Alone.

## Appearance

They have similar appearances with the Blind Spirits. They have a black body with blood on their arms and feet. However, their heads are missing, replaced with black flames or gases escaping their necks.

## Behavior

They walk in fixed paths and patterns, doing the same routine. Because they lack a head to see, hear, and smell, they cannot detect the Protagonist. So they cannot sense her and chase after her. However, they still have they sense of touch. So when they come in contact with her, they will finally sense her and kill her on the spot. This problem becomes more severe with the fact that they cannot be seen in the dark.

## Mythology and Theories

The Headless Spirits are probably the restless or resentful spirits of people who have died upon having lost their heads due to an accident, murder, or execution. The black flames or smoke coming out of their necks represent the remnants of where they heads should be or represent the blood gushing out of their necks upon having their head severed or crushed. As for their bloody hands and feet, they may represent the injuries from their death or from the incident where they lost their head.
Chicken Egg

The Chicken Egg is one of the collectible Items in Yomawari: Night Alone.

On the road south of the School's main gate. There's a Floor Mouth nearby.

### Chicken Three

In the middle of the road right after the stairs where you are ambushed by Mr. Raw Heads, north of the School's main gate.

### Chicken Four

In the School's track and field.

It is recommended that you chase it "away" from the track and field full of Spirits.

### Chicken Five

In the School, in a small maze with some Headless Spirits.

This one is dangerous because the view is blocked by trees and there are Headless Spirits walking around and you will most likely already have 4 chickens impeding your movement.

Once you return all five chickens to the Chicken Coop, a Chicken Egg will appear inside of it for you to pick up.

## Strategies

Start with either the headless Chicken or Chicken 5 (in the small school maze)

### Headless Chicken Route

Interact with the Headless Chicken (Chicken 2), head east and follow the sidewalk in the direction of the "train xing", continue east until you find Chicken 1. Then head north, go up the stairs past the Mr. Raw Heads and keep going north until you find Chicken 3. Go back south, then go through the hole in the fence, heading southwest until you've reached the School Track, go around Chicken 4 in a wide circle, to chase it north; away from all the spirits on the track. Head southwest until you can go no further, the last chicken is southeast in a small maze with a few Headless Spirits. This is the most dangerous one. Headless Spirits are only visible in light but luckily cannot track the player very well, wait for an opening then grab the chicken. Head northwest to the Chicken Coup and run. A Blind Spirit is along the path, you can try sneaking past it, (or just run past it, as it's terrible at catching up)

### Chicken 5 Route

Start with Chicken 5 in the small school maze, then proceed to the Headless Chicken. This is a lower risk route, as Chicken 5 is the hardest to get. Then follow the guide above to get Chicken 1, Chicken 3, and Chicken 4. You may have to re-interact with Chicken 5.

## Notes

If attempting to get this item after Chapter 7, there is a chance Mr. Yomawari will kidnap you and reset your progress.

### Rarity

Unique

## Appearance

## Behavior

This unusual Spirit stays stationary in a corner of a graveyard. It doesn't appear to move and it remains in the same kneeling posture the whole time. However, if the Protagonist were to examine it, the Spirit's body will crumble like a clay statue crumbling to dust.

It doesn't seem to be able to harm the Protagonist nor be able to affect the Protagonist's heartbeat.

The Red Crayon Note is one of the collectible Items in Yomawari: Night Alone.

## Location

The Red Crayon Note can be found in the School, in the track and field area. It is located near the swings of the area. However, there will be a Child Spirit guarding this Item. So, to get the Item, you must keep your flashlight shining on the Child Spirit while attempting to get the Item so that the Child Spirit will remain in its place and unable to chase you to kill you.

However, it is possible to get this item while the Child Spirit is gone. This Spirit will no longer be at that location after Chapter 2 is over. So, it's possible to safely get this item starting at Chapter 3.

## Trivia

Hanging Spirit

This spirit doesn't have an official name. The name on this article is simply a descriptive name of this spirit.

## Hanging Spirit

### Appearances

Yomawari: Night AloneYomawari: Midnight Shadows

### Locations

Pond (Night Alone)Downtown (Night Alone)
Empty Building (Midnight Shadows)

### Rarity

Rare

The Hanging Spirit is a Spirit in Yomawari: Night Alone and Yomawari: Midnight Shadows.

## Appearance

The Hanging Spirit appears as a dark human figure that left hanging by a rope that is hanging in midair. Its neck is stretched long because of the rope. The spirit's face shows a face of someone left unconscious from being choked.

## Behavior

This Spirit remains roaming in its territory. Once it sees the Protagonist, it will chase after her. If the player runs through it, his lower body separates from his upper part to drop down and disintegrate, and it will kill the girls if its falling body hits them. It will stop chasing her if she leaves its chasing range.

In Yomawari: Night Alone, a Hanging Spirit can be found near the Pond, where it is guarding a collectible item called a Torn Rope.

## Mythology and Theories

The Hanging Spirit is probably the restless or resentful spirit of someone who committed suicide by hanging.

The Torn Rope it is guarding is probably what remains of the rope that the Hanging Spirit in the Pond area used to kill itself when it was alive.

The Hanging Spirit in the Downtown area may have a connection with the Pair of Shoes collectible Item, as it is custom for Japanese people to leave their shoes neatly together before they commit suicide via hanging.

Jizo Statues

**Jizo Statues** are recurring monuments found in the town of Yomawari: Night Alone, Yomawari: Midnight Shadows, and Yomawari: Lost in the Dark. They contain many vital gameplay mechanics.

## Mechanics

Jizo statues serve three purposes: a place to quick-save at, teleportation points to make traversing the map easier, and respawn points should the protagonist die.

When the game's protagonist interacts with a Jizo statue, the player is asked whether they wish to offer a coin. If they choose to, the game will save their current progress. This provides an alternative to returning to the diary at Home to save.

After choosing whether or not to offer a coin to the Jizo statue, the protagonist can also choose to teleport to another discovered Jizo statue on the map.

Jizo statues can also act as a respawn point in the event that the protagonist is killed. She will always respawn at the Jizo statue she most recently interacted with. However, it is worth noting that if the protagonist visits her Home, she will respawn there instead of at any statue she visited before that.

## Mythology and Theories

Jizo statues can be found everywhere in Japan, ranging from temples to the middle of the road. The reason for their abundance in Japan is because the statues have two major roles.

First, the Jizo statues are seen as a protector of children, especially for those who have died before or during childbirth. Because Japan's mortality rate of children were pretty bad in the past, there were many people who would worship Jizo for the sake of their children.

Second, the Jizo statues are also seen as a protection for travelers. As a result, they were placed on not only roads, but also dangerous places where travelers would need that protection.

These two important roles of the Jizo statues are reasons as to why they act as quick save spots, respawn spots, and fast travel spots. Since the main characters of the games are young children traveling out at night, these statues act as a means of protecting them.

## Trivia

* In Yomawari: Midnight Shadows and Yomawari: Lost in the Dark, Telephones are introduced as a substitute for Jizo Statues when the protagonist is exploring the interior of haunted buildings.
Spirit Catfish

The Spirit Catfish is a unique Spirit from Yomawari: Midnight Shadows. It is a large, mutated catfish that lives deep in the Sewers of the Second Town.

## Appearance

The Spirit Catfish looks like a large black catfish with two long whiskers. Based on the long, black shadow in the water, it suggests that this spirit's body may be very long.

It has multiple eyes, which appear hazy or muddy, on its head. It also has a large mouth with pinkish lips.

## Behavior

It appears in a special event that can be unlocked once Haru passes through the Sewers for the first time (during her encounter with Gashadokuro).

When this event is active and Haru enters the Sewers, there will be a large earthquake felt inside the sewers. A large board will appear in one of the small rooms in the sewers. Haru can carry it to a gap in order to make a bridge so she can access a large pipe with broken bars, which will allow Haru to enter deeper into the sewer system.

Once there, another earthquake will occur. This will short-circuit the lights and render the sewers into complete darkness. From there, Haru will have to navigate a dark maze with only her flashlight as her light source, all the while being chased by Muddy Spirits and Bomb Spirits. Once must exercise caution as this pitch black maze will have dead ends, with most of them have cardboard boxes for hiding.

If Haru is able to reach the end of the maze, another earthquake will trigger. The lights will be back on, and Haru will find the Spirit Catfish in the nearby waters. And when Haru tries to leave, another earthquake will occur. The Spirit Catfish will dive back into the water and it will leave Haru with the Catfish Whiskers collectible item.

## Mythology and Theories

It is highly likely that this Spirit Catfish is based after the Namazu (also known as the Onamazu).

The Namazu is a giant catfish from Japanese mythology who is responsible for creating earthquakes in Japan. This spirit was believed to be living under the earth. And when it swims through the seas and rivers there, it causes earthquakes around the area. It was eventually subdued by the thunder god Takemikazuchi-no-Mikoto. However, Namazu remains to be a force to be reckoned with, still able to cause earthquakes. Strangely enough, this spirit would occasionally bring good fortune and a redistribution of wealth, along with its devastation with earthquakes.

If this Spirit Catfish is indeed based after the Namazu, that would explain the earthquakes that occur in the Sewers while Haru is doing this spirit's event.
Dead Bug

### Description

"A little, dead bug. It's cold and hard. But, it's still pretty and shiny and green."

The Dead Bug is one of the collectible Items in Yomawari: Night Alone.

## Location

The Dead Bug can be found around the beginning of the Woods. It is nearby the first bulletin board of the Woods, which is north from the metal fence door that acts as the entrance to the area.
Mary Doll

The Mary Doll is one of the collectible Items in Yomawari: Night Alone.

## Location

The Mary Doll is obtained in a random event with Miss Mary in the Protagonist's Town. This random event happens in a small forest that is near a road between the Northeast Vacant Lot and the Field area. You will need the Doll from Hanako in order to complete this random event.

There will be a ringing cell phone in the small forest. Most of the time, when you interact with it, it will only receive no answer. However, if the Miss Mary random event is active, Miss Mary will answer the phone. She will say she's behind you.

After that, turn around and prepare to throw the Doll at Miss Mary as soon as she appears. Once that happens, if it succeeds, Miss Mary will be stuck on the Doll. Wait for 20 seconds or more, and then the Spirit will disappear, leaving only the Mary Doll Item in her place.
Toy Bone

The Toy Bone is one of the collectible Items in Yomawari: Night Alone.

## Location

The Toy Bone is at the entrance of the Tunnel. You cannot see it because of the environment is in the way of the screen. So you'll need the flashlight on and need to rely on when an exclamation point appears over the Protagonist's head to find this Item.

## Trivia

* It is possible that the reason that the Protagonist and Poro were at the entrance to the Tunnel is because Poro was looking for his Toy Bone (which somehow got lost in that Tunnel). This would explain why the two of them were around that area until sunset, as they were looking for Poro's Toy Bone.
Origami Crane

### Description

A tiny crane made out of paper. But it wasn't folded quite right so it looks funny.

The Origami Crane is one of the collectible Items in Yomawari: Night Alone.

## Location
