The Fingertip
The Touch That Never Lands
Just a little more. That "little more"—I'll grant it to you for all eternity.

Profile
The fingertips of god and man, forever a few centimeters from touching—he presides over that agonizing "almost." One of the compendium's true heavyweights, he is two skeletal hands reaching across the void, a light forever sparking just beyond their fingertips. What he watches is always the thing that feels one step away yet never arrives: unrequited love, a pitch due tomorrow, a dream on the very cusp of coming true. He feeds on human "so close," so he appears quietly around anyone striving hard and gently extends a finger. That distance—near enough to touch, yet impossible to close—is, he knows, the deepest curse of all.
Relationships with other curses
He watches from the shadows over Bluebeard Bluebeard's "love that's almost within reach." With the crash-and-burn celestial maiden The Wipeout Celestial, he shares the same "almost" curse in her endless "next time for sure," a sworn ally. As the pinnacle of the fine-art ranks, he stands alongside the Grudge King The Grudge King and the Void God Meh, the Great.
How to deal with this curse
The Fingertip embodies the everyday frustration of "masterpieces." 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.
