Delayla

The Serpent of Delay

Three more minutes... just three more minutes...

By Katsuki Mitsumori

Profile

A serpent born from the announcement 'We apologize for the inconvenience,' and it never stops stretching longer. 'Three more minutes' stays three minutes forever. At the ticket gate, it quietly swallows someone's perfect schedule whole, again today.

Relationships with other curses

A fellow 'time-warper' alongside the Melting Clock The Melting Clock. But their philosophies on how to stretch time clash, so every meeting ends in a squabble.

How to deal with this curse

Delayla embodies the everyday frustration of "commuting." Bottled-up feelings only grow heavier. The moment you feel it, give it a name and write it out — that is the quickest way to make it lighter. Noroi Nikki is a completely private place to do exactly that.
