## Background

On July 10th, Kazue was born to Masamune and Sumire Ono, two normal parents who were trying their best to make do with what they had. She has one other sibling, Kazuhiko, who was only two years older than her. Since they were both still very young, Sumire could only stay at home to take care of them while her husband would work long hours, coming home very late at night.

Since her family was unable to buy many toys for her, Kazue would often find herself playing outside to pass the time. She was a quiet child, so she didn’t have many friends, but she would often find herself playing with the little ant hills she’d find around the park. She would grow attached to the little insects, bringing scraps of food in an attempt to feed them. This wouldn’t last long, however, as the ant hills would often be crushed by the other kids when she wasn’t there protecting them. When she turned four, her family’s money situation did not get any better. They felt bad for Kazue since all of her clothes were just hand-me-downs from her brother, so they pooled some of their savings together to buy her an ant farm so that she could have something to call her own. Kazue loved the gift and not only took great care of her new friends, it helped strengthen her passion for insects. Because she was so enamored with her new gift, Kazue would soon begin locking herself inside with the ants. Her parents were thankful that their daughter didn’t ask for anything else, but they were still struggling financially and it seemed that there was no end it sight. It wasn’t until Kazue turned seven when she saw her father genuinely happy in a long time, as if he had just received some amazing news.

It turns out that he had just gotten a call from an old friend of his, and he had invited him to come and be a producer at this up-and-coming entertainment company, I MY ME. Since it was so new, Sumire was a bit hesitant of letting her husband accept, but she wanted to give him the opportunity to do something that he would enjoy, so she ultimately chose to support him. The pay was way better than what he was currently making, but it required Masamune to move into the city to work. They both knew that there was a chance that this venture could crash and burn, but they decided it was worth the risk. They wanted to make a better future for their children, no matter the cost. Before leaving for his new career, Masamune told Kazue that he would come back to visit as much as he can and would bring her any cool insects that he found in Tokyo. She was very excited at that offer and happily continued to tend to her insects, patiently waiting to add more to her ‘family’.

Now that the family had more stable footing with their savings, both of the children were receiving more gifts from their parents, much to their excitement. For Kazue, this not only included more bugs but also books about entomology as well. This caused Kazue to confine herself to her room even more, not coming out unless she needed to eat or go to the bathroom. Because of her reclusive lifestyle, Kazue’s skin became more pale and her hair seemed to have gotten lighter. Even her height changed, becoming taller than the average eleven year old. These abnormal characteristics caused the kids at school to call her ‘zombie’, much to her initial confusion. She went to her older brother for answers, in which he then introduced her to common zombie movies, much to the dismay of their mother. Even though it was scary at first, Kazue began to find it fascinating and continued to watch more. If you asked her why, she would probably tell you that it was first about the insects that were crawling all around the zombies and that made her happy. She soon became a horror fan, watching movies late into the night, snuggled up with her bugs. Later on, thanks to their increased income, the Ono family was able to move into the city to reunite with their loving husband and father.

Kazue struggled the most when it came to the move, as it was hard for her to transport all of her insects to the new house, but she managed thanks to some creative planning. It was all going well until the last case broke and her insects spread all over the new house. This was the last straw for Sumire. She never really liked bugs in the first place, but she wanted to be a supportive mother so she let it go. However, she couldn’t take it anymore and put her foot down and declared that there will be no more bugs. Although he understood why the decision was made, Kazue’s father didn’t want to force his daughter to get rid of her collection, so he had an idea. He was able to get permission from his bosses to get one of the dorm rooms at I MY ME for Kazue and her insects. There was another reason for this favor though. Kazue had continued to wear masculine clothes ever since she was a child and he knew it was his fault for not being able to properly provide for her, but he really wanted his beautiful daughter to try something more feminine. He hoped that, since she would have to go to the dorms to tend to her insects, she would see the other idols and want to pursue it herself. Because they were in the city, the diversity of insects was really poor, the main ones being cockroaches, so that’s what her collection mostly consisted of at the time. As I MY ME became more successful, some idols started to notice something strange in the dorms. Rumors began to float around about a tall, handsome male walking into one of the female rooms every day at the same time. Some thought it was a ghost and became more and more cautious since no one was supposed to be living in that room. As the rest of the building started to fill up, it became bad luck to get the rooms near Kazue’s since they all feared the ‘handsome dormitory ghost’ would come into your room and attack you. Kazue was oblivious to the rumors, but thanks to them she was never able to make any friends, even at her new highschool, much to her father’s concern. She was fine with it, but soon it all began to change when Kazue realized that she was actually being observed by a group called Interlunium, who were trying to learn more about the ‘handsome ghost’.
