This arc follows two cursed high schoolers: Ken Hayakiri, the Kuro-kamikiri, a gifted athlete haunted by the compulsion to steal hair; and Barbie Fujimoto, the Futakuchi-onna, a brilliant but withdrawn academic cursed with endlessly growing, hungry hair.

Together, they might find balance — if the crew doesn’t expose, banish, or destroy them first. This roadmap outlines how the mystery and romance can evolve over multiple sessions.

• Hair thefts at Seavan High spark rumors and fear.
• Victims: students wake up with hacked-off hair, shame spreading through gossip.
• PCs investigate; clues point toward a shadowy boy with scissors (Ken).
• Barbie appears briefly — quiet, reclusive, trying to hide beneath hoodies.
• Futakuchi-onna revealed: her hair writhes and grows uncontrollably.
• Ending Beat: PCs glimpse that Ken is fascinated by Barbie, though he doesn’t know why.

• Barbie’s curse worsens — clumps of hair found in hallways, muffled chewing sounds reported.
• Teachers/students whisper about Barbie’s strangeness.
• Ken is caught between shame (hair thefts) and protective instinct toward Barbie.
• PCs may confront Barbie — she resists letting anyone near her secret.
• Opportunity arises: Ken *might* be the one to help trim her cursed hair. Barbie refuses, too ashamed.
• Ending Beat: PCs decide whether to protect Barbie’s secret, expose her, or push her toward Ken.

• Rumors connect Ken and Barbie as “the weird ones.”
• Barbie’s curse lashes out more violently; Ken’s shadow-self grows restless.
• PCs are forced to take sides — protect the pair, expose them, or end their threat.
• If PCs act as matchmakers, they must convince Barbie she’s not a monster and Ken that his compulsion has purpose.
• If PCs oppose them, it can escalate into violence or tragedy.
• Ending Beat: The balance point — do Ken & Barbie connect, collapse, or spiral into horror?

• Bittersweet Romance: Ken trims Barbie’s hair; her curse stabilizes, his shame eases. They remain fragile but hopeful.
• Tragedy: Barbie rejects Ken, lashes out; Ken sinks deeper into shame. PCs may need to banish or subdue.
• Horror: They unite parasitically — Barbie becomes dependent on Ken, and his compulsion feeds her curse, birthing a new urban legend.

• Hair as Identity: humiliation, shame, pride.
• Secrets & Exposure: fear of being seen for who you are.
• Teen Romance / Body Horror: the awkwardness of attraction twisted into supernatural compulsion.
• PC Role: mediators of connection or judges of monstrosity. Their choices shape whether the story ends in romance, tragedy, or horror.
