The Long-Neck
The Woman Whose Neck Stretches
Just popping out for a bit. …Only my neck, of course.
By Katsuki Mitsumori
Profile
A woman whose neck stretches out with a slither once night falls. By day she's demure and proper, but at night her head roams the whole house peering into everything. She is curiosity itself, the itch of "I just have to know," and she slowly stretches the neck of anyone who stays up late scrolling other people's socials and gossip. She herself stays perfectly refined—and rarely even notices how far her neck has gone.
Relationships with other curses
"Stretch buddies" with Rapunzel Hairfall and the other long-neck types. She comes creeping night after night to peek at the screen of the read-but-ignored ogre Seenzoned.
How to deal with this curse
The Long-Neck embodies the everyday frustration of "folk 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.
