Synopsis

Before Grandpa died, he left me with a warning: a paper effigy maker must never make three kinds of figures. On my very first day taking over the shop, I broke every rule. I made a wedding dress for a girl who died violently, a filial son for a childless widow, and finally... a stand-in for a living person. Now all the paper figures I made come alive at night and gather around me, calling me “Master.” Outside the window, the girl who should have been dead for three years is knocking on the door.
