[Traces] A Page You Shouldn’t Scroll Through
It’s me. Employee A.
About twenty years ago, there was a time when almost anyone could easily create their own website.
Personal computers were becoming common in ordinary households, and with simple software, people could publish pages to the vast sea of the internet.
Compared to today, many of those sites were clearly amateurish.
Some looked unfinished, as if their creators had given up halfway through, and countless pages like that were left behind.
They remind me of the tourist spots hastily built during the bubble era—then abandoned and left to decay after it burst.
The site I saw was probably one of those that had simply been left online.
The description was gone. The creator’s name was gone.
Only a strange background illustration remained.
When I scrolled all the way down, I remember thinking,
“I should pretend I never saw this.”
That page was probably… something pretending to be made for children.

Now then, a mini-game—one that looks like it’s about to start a fortune-telling session—has been restored.
At first glance, the screen is colorful and cheerful.
But as you scroll downward, the atmosphere begins to change.
Deep within the screen, there is… something.
A grotesque red body, embedded with countless eyes.
You can’t tell where it’s looking.
And yet, it feels as though every single eye is fixed on you.
It makes you wonder whether what’s being “read” isn’t your fortune at all—
but you yourself.
