The Dozing Hare
The Hare Who Napped Too Soon
Just a quick nap. ...I'm winning anyway.
By Katsuki Mitsumori
Profile
The ghost of the hare who, sure it could beat the tortoise, lay down for a nap and lost. It's fallen asleep forever just short of the finish line, and it feeds on carelessness and conceit. It gently sets a weight on the eyelids of anyone smug enough to think 'I'll be fine.' Try to wake it, and all it ever says is 'five more minutes.'
Relationships with other curses
It's a loyal disciple of the Second-Sleep Crone Five-More-Minutes (though, being asleep, it has no idea). The plodding tortoise is actually a distant relation of the Deadpan Couple The Pitchfork Couple.
How to deal with this curse
The Dozing Hare 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.
