[???-1]:

Who knows how many years have passed.. I can't believe that I actually decided to come to this planet again... But I saw quite interesting things here. Like this big family that seems to have existed for hundreds for years now. I witnessed its fall just a few years ago.

[???-2]:

I thought that you visited for like 5 to 40 years... But hundreds? That's unexpected from someone like you. Could you tell me what's interesting about that family then?

[???-1]:

Sure, why not.
The story goes like this:

...

There was a popular family known as "The Najimis". Most of its family members had dark, beautiful and silk smooth black hair.

But they all used to wear masks. Even babies were given masks at the age of 4 weeks old. None of the people wearing the masks were allowed to take them off, or else the other family members will kill who takes it off and won't let anyone look at their face.

But one day, a young member of the family ran away. She was 19 at that time. She went to a small village and tried to convince everyone not to tell anyone that she's here and that she wants to hide from her family in the village.

The villagers agreed and a 21 years old man and his small family decided to hide her in their house. The man and the girl started talking to each other. And yeah they kinda fell in love and all that stupid stuff then got married after 2 years and had a little girl.

Right after the woman gave birth to the girl, she gave her a mask then she took her to a shrine. That shrine was more special than the other shrines in the village. The legends say that if you pray there you might hear a voice telling you what to name your child.

The parents silently prayed, but they got lucky and somehow heard some whispering coming from the shrine:

"...Kohako..Kohako..Kohako..."

...

The parents were really shocked that they actually heard something. But they've always been told as kids that if there's a child named Kohako it'll be cursed. So no one named their child Kohako. But what are they gonna do?

They decided to name her Xixi (Pronounced as Shishi). Because they were scared that she could've been cursed.

...

To be continued...

((Thanks for reaching this part! I am cringing so much because of this story 😭😭 but it's ok it's logic ig I hope I am not offending anyone. Did you know that The Najimis existed for exactly 249 years. Amazing, right? Thanks again for reading this!!))
