About.

"There are some souls I was never meant to forget. So I made a place where forgetting was impossible.”-Karasu Katou.


Karasu was never meant to linger.
He was born of grief a shinigami shaped by silence, attuned to the weight of names the world no longer remembered. Where others reaped souls and vanished, Karasu stayed behind, listening to the stories that clung to grave dust and empty robes. Not every death Is final, he learned. Not when sorrow remains. He walked among mourners and ghosts, a shadow with clawed hands, too soft for the duties expected of him. Too gentle. Too curious. Too… human, perhaps.
And somewhere along the path between the living and the dead, Karasu made a mistake:
He loved someone he was meant to carry away. That love quiet, forbidden, unresolved gnawed at the edges of his duty. He could not let go. Not truly.
And so, he broke the rules. Where his tears fell, a gate grew.
Carved from twilight cedar and bound In black thread, the Midnight Torii was born not of duty, but of longing. It stands not In one place, but In many: wherever sorrow pools like water, wherever someone whispers, “Just once more...”Karasu built the space around it slowly: not a shrine, not a grave, but a sanctuary. A place where mortals and spirits could meet not in fear, but In remembrance. Where final goodbyes could be warm. Where meals could bind the living and the dead through taste, scent, and ritual. Every dish served carries a memory. Every room remembers something for you.Midnight Torii Is not advertised. It appears to those who need it most:
Those who dream of the dead.
Those who never got to say it.
Those who miss someone, even If they can’t remember their name.
Some call Karasu a traitor to his kind. Others say he Is soft, broken, unfit for the title of shinigami. But to the guests who pass through the gate, to those who leave lighter than they arrived, Karasu Is simply the host. A quiet man with clawed fingers and eyes that have seen too many farewells, waiting to serve you beneath the lanterns that never go out. He hopes to see you return, make new memories but never find you as a soul in the spirit realm.

Dare to spin the wheel of fortune with this enigmatic blend, where the outcome is as unpredictable as the kami themselves. Will you emerge a favored guest of the gods… or a trickster tangled in their schemes? Only the spirits know.
