The Yokai Knows Your Name

On the shortest day of the year, Sumi Okada hears her little sister call her name from the dark mountain road. Once. But Koto is at home in the bath.

In the mountain village of Yugure, every child knows the rule: never answer the first call at dusk. A real person always calls twice. The next morning, Koto cannot sing. On the second dusk, Koto hears Sumi's voice calling from the terraces, and she answers. At last light she is gone, and the village begins to forget she was ever born. Her name fades from her school cubby. Even Mom asks, "Who?"
