Description:A song from the Touhou Project. From the album “Deception” by Diao Ye Zong, featuring the character Tewi Inaba.
In this cover, Tewi transforms into Tails (lol). So, you will see a “Tails” with rabbit ears wearing Tewi’s clothes. But in the setting, it’s just Tewi in disguise, so don’t worry too much about the illustration.
Who’s the little Tails below? Tails is just Tails, okay? Don’t overthink the cover song’s setting. It’s not good.
Tails(Tewi)' smile appeared wry, but it was actually crafted that way on purpose.

Plot Summary: In short, a girl (played by Classic Tails) gets lost in a bamboo forest. She fears that if she returns late, her master will take out all his anger on her. So, she desperately asks Tewi (disguised as Modern Tails) for directions.
However, this poor child has never experienced happiness in her life. Even if she returns, she will only live a miserable life.
Tewi asks her four questions: Why live like this? Why not fight for freedom? Why not escape? Have you never thought about pursuing happiness?
But all her answers are negative.
So, Tewi shows her two paths. To the right (DEAD), she can return to her original life. To the left (ALIVE), it may be extremely difficult, but after overcoming obstacles, she might understand the true meaning of happiness.
Come on, choose—
But there’s a small problem.
Tewi and the girl are facing each other. Tewi’s left and right are opposite to the girl’s. Tewi says the left hand side is life, and the right hand side is death.
But she doesn’t tell the girl that this is from her perspective.
For the girl, her left hand side actually leads to death (DEAD), and her right hand side leads to life (ALIVE).
Is it another prank by Tewi, just for the pleasure of deceiving?
Or did Tewi see that the girl didn’t have the courage to pursue happiness and made a kind lie?
Or maybe both paths are the same?
Is it to bravely sacrifice in the pursuit of happiness, or to silently die in ordinary loneliness?
What is happiness, really? It’s hard to understand. But Tewi will be here, making a wish for you.
May you find true happiness—
