Tale 79 — The man with hands tucked in his robe who vanished at the entrance
When the previous Chozo came home from a night of amusement, a man with his hands tucked into the front of his robe was standing at the gate. Thinking he might be someone visiting his wife, Chozo approached, and the man vanished into the house through a gap at the entrance. He put his hand into the gap of the door and felt around, and found the paper screen closed. When he looked up, the man's face was pressed flat against the wall above the door, and his eyeballs looked as though they were bulging out, but this time it was not even an omen.
