In #JapaneseFolklore ghosts are known as yurei and ghost tales as kaidan. Many y urei are also onryo, which are vengeful ghosts who return to seek revenge on those who hurt or betrayed them. Some of the most famous tales are those of Oiwa, Okiku and Kasane.

Seb is a youkai, which is a trickster spirt usually found in Japanese folklore, they usually don’t interact with humans, at least not in the chill way, so my girlfriends persona, Cyrus, befriends a Youkai, who would rather break bridges and set fires then be chill
