Wolfcry the Liar
The Boy Who Cried Wolf
This time it's real. ...You won't believe me, will you.
By Katsuki Mitsumori
Profile
The boy who cried 'Wolf!' one too many times, so that when the wolf truly came, no one ran to save him. Ever since, he wanders with half a wolf sprouting from his mouth, cursed so that even his truths sound like lies. He appears beside people who have spent their trust too cheaply, feeding their quiet resignation of 'no one will believe me anyway.' All he ever really wanted was a little attention.
Relationships with other curses
He shares the lonely ache of 'nobody believes me' with the Read-and-Ignored Ogre Seenzoned. He and Pinocchio Nosegrow are fellow liars, but they bicker over whose lies are the better kind.
How to deal with this curse
Wolfcry the Liar embodies the everyday frustration of "fairy tales." 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.
