A special booth for Kodama Takano to recover from the heavy toll of his abilities.

Overview

Zeku is a “recovery booth” installed in Kodama Takano’s laboratory in Kyoto.
As a *Kewaishi*, he can perceive the state of people’s bodies and minds by touching their skin, but the use of this ability consumes him greatly.
Zeku functions as a dedicated space to heal such exhaustion. Inside, tatami flooring and incense create a tranquil environment sealed off from the outside world.
