Summary: A simple short story in two versions. One with the Japanese names, one with the English names.
Version 1.
Alyssa once wondered how a simple amulet from a shrine could hold, trap Bates inside her. Was it due to a divine blessing? Is it a simple "mental block" that Alyssa creates to protect herself from Bates by having the amulet on her? Or is it Bates himself who lets himself be "trapped" by it? Hmm.
Version 2.
